Keep the traditional taste of roast lamb and mint jelly, but add Middle Eastern flair with a creamy tahini sauce and tangy tabouli.

Ingredients

2 x 8 lamb cutlet racks, French-trimmed

1 Tbsp olive oil

⅓ cup mint jelly

1½ Tbsp Dijon mustard

¼ cup mint leaves, finely chopped

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

⅓ cup Greek yoghurt

¼ cup tahini

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Tabouli, baby spinach leaves and lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional).

  2. Spray a large non-stick frying pan lightly with oil. Heat over medium-high and sear lamb on all sides for 2-3 minutes, or until browned all over.

  3. In a microwave-safe bowl combine oil, mint jelly, mustard and 2 tablespoons of the mint. Season, stir to combine and microwave on
    High (100%) for 15-20 seconds.

  4. Place lamb on a roasting tray lined with baking paper. Brush lamb with mint jelly mixture. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Set aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil, to rest for 10 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine yoghurt, tahini, lemon zest, juice and remaining mint. Season and stir well, adding a little water if necessary to achieve desired sauce consistency.

  6. Slice lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve with tahini yoghurt sauce, tabouli, baby spinach and lemon wedges.
