MASH
Place the sweet potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
LAMB CHOPS
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, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
GREEN SALAD
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the diced Cucumber, the lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, seasoning, and toss to coat.
