Couscous
Boil the kettle. Place the Couscous and peas in a bowl with 75ml [150ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
SOME PREP
Roughly chop the apricots and set aside. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and add to the apricots.
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 and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserve the pan juices, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
In a bowl with the Couscous, add the mint, cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes, citrus mix, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and season.
