How to Zest, Peel and Segment Citrus

Method

  • Lamb Marinade

  • Mix together the oregano, garlic and oil in a bowl. Rub all over the lamb and season with salt and pepper.

  • Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Allow the lamb to return to room temperature before cooking.

  • When ready to cook, place into a frying pan over a moderate heat. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side until well browned or cooked to your liking.

  • Remove the lamb steaks from the heat, cover and rest in a warm place.

  • Cous Cous

  • Cook the cous cous as directed on the packet.

  • Fluff up with a fork so there are no lumps and mix through all the remaining ingredients, seasoning with the salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve the lamb on the cous cous with extra mint, parsley and coriander leaves sprinkled on top.
