CINNAMON RICE & EVERYTHING NICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat with the rooibos powder and ½ the cinnamon. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
ALL THE Almonds
Place the Almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan.
MINTY YOGHURT & SALSA
In a bowl, add the diced Cucumber, the yoghurt, ½ the sliced mint and ½ the sumac. Toss until fully combined. In a separate bowl, combine the pomegranate gems, the sultanas, the remaining mint and some seasoning.
TOASTIN’ & ROASTIN’
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, add the lamb chunks and fry for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting as it colours. In the final minute, baste with the remaining cinnamon & sumac and a knob of butter. Season to taste.
