FLUFFY-SPICED RICE
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub and the rinsed rice. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add 200ml of salted water. Cover with the 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 steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, toss through the chopped sultanas, and cover.
MEANWHILE
Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the coriander. Finely dice the cucumber and ½ the tomato. De-seed and finely slice the chilli.
DO THE SALSA
In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, the diced tomato, ½ the chopped coriander, the sliced chilli (to taste), the lemon juice (to taste), seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil.
SIZZLING CHOPS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb chop dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the chop, fat-side down, until cooked to your preference, 3-4 minutes per side. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes.
