Ingredients
- 12 bone-in lamb cutlets
- 2 tbsp Moroccan spice mix
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Labne, to serve
For the dressing
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
For the salad
- 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 80 g mesclun salad mix
For the freekeh
- 1 ½ cups cooked wholegrain green freekeh
- 3 tbsp homemade tomato sauce, or tomato passata
- Pinch Lebanese seven spice

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C (fan-forced). In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb cutlets with the spice mix with a drizzle of olive oil and toss well to coat.
- Heat a large grill pan over high heat. Sear the lamb cutlets on either side, until browned, then transfer to a lined baking tray and bake for 8 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- Meanwhile, combine the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, carrot and salad leaves. Drizzle with the salad dressing and toss well to combine.
- To make the freekeh, in a large frying pan, combine the cooked freekeh with the tomato sauce and seven spice. Stir through the cream.
- Divide freekeh between serving plates and top with the spiced lamb. Serve with some labne and the salad.
