How to Char-grill Vegetables

Method

  • 1. Heat half the oil in a medium saucepan. Cook onion, stirring over medium heat for 5 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

  • 2. Add chickpeas, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Simmer for 15 minutes or until thick.

  • 3. Meanwhile, combine remaining oil, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, lemon rind, cumin and cinnamon on a plate. Season well with freshly ground black pepper. Roll the lamb in the spice mixture to coat.

  • 4. Spray a char-grill pan with cooking spray and heat over high heat. Cook lamb for 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate; cover and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

  • 5. Stir the mint through the chickpeas mixture and season well with freshly ground black pepper. Serve with the sliced lamb and steamed beans.
