COOK THE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover 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. Fluff with a fork and cover.
MAKE THE SAUCE
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the grated garlic and the spicy rub, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the cooked chopped tomato, 15ml of sweetener, ½ of the sliced Chilli, and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced, 12-15 minutes. Season.
FRY THE LAMB
Place a pan or a grill pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel, coat with the dried thyme, and season. 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 and rest for 5 minutes.
SAUTÉ THE Kale
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the shredded Kale until slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season.
