Water
Paper Towel
Butter (optional)

Serves 1

ROASTED Butternut
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Place the Butternut chunks and the Lemon slices on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
COFFEE LAMB
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, brown the lamb for 5-7 minutes in total, shifting as it colours. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil and the rub. Once browned, add to the roasting tray with the Butternut to finish cooking in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
BECOUSCOUS, I SAID SO!
Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork and toss through the Lemon zest (to taste) and seasoning.
SALAD & MINTY DRIZZLE
In a bowl, combine the zesty couscous, the chopped dates, the Flaked Almonds, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, combine the Tahini, ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.
