  1. RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. 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. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. LAMB CHOPS

    While the rice is cooking, place a pan over 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 sweet sesame, and deglaze with a splash of water. Remove from the pan (reserving the pan juices), season, and rest for 5 minutes.

  3. JUST BEFORE SERVING

    In a salad bowl, combine the cooked rice, the drained peppers, the diced Cucumber, the mayo, and seasoning.
