Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onions and ¾ of the diced peppers until soft and fragrant, 5-6 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, the tomato paste, the jollof spice, and the grated garlic. Fry until fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
JOLLOF RICE
Add the rinsed rice, salt (to taste), and 200ml of water to the pot. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes.
TOAST
Place the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat. Toast until lightly golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SALSA
In a bowl, combine the drained pineapple pieces, the remaining green pepper, the chopped coriander, the lemon juice, and seasoning.
LAMB
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
