Mini lamb roast with cracked wheat, carrots and green tahini sauce

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over high heat, add lamb and brown well all over. Transfer to a roasting pan and roast until cooked to your liking (15-20 minutes for medium-rare). Cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cover burghul in a bowl with boiling water, stand to soften (6-8 minutes), then drain well through a fine sieve and transfer to a clean bowl.

Step 3

Wipe out pan with paper towels, return to heat and add remaining oil, and carrot, onion and garlic and fry until just tender (3-4 minutes). Add to burghul along lemon juice, season generously, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to taste and toss to combine.

Step 4

For green tahini sauce, process tahini, herbs, lemon juice and garlic in a small food processor until smooth, add 150ml water, season to taste and process to combine.

Step 5

Thickly slice lamb, serve with burghul salad and green tahini sauce and scatter with herbs.
