  • Step 1

    Quickly marinate the lamb by combining the Moroccan spice blend with the olive oil in a medium bowl. Brush the spice mix over the lamb, season well with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  • Step 2

    To make the lemon and honey dressing, combine the ingredients in a small bowl or jar and mix well. Season to taste.

  • Step 3

    Heat a chargrill pan or barbecue to medium-high heat and cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes each side (200g pieces) until lightly charred, but still rare inside. For cutlets, cook on medium heat in a pan for 2-3 minutes a side or to your liking. Place the lamb in a bowl, cover with foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, add the cous cous to a large heatproof bowl, pour over the boiling stock or water, cover with a lid or cling film, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the cous cous with a fork.

  • Step 5

    Add the drained chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, spring onion, mint, parsley, watercress or rocket and goat’s cheese. Gently toss together.

  • Step 6

    Arrange the chickpea salad on a large serving plate. Slice the lamb and arrange it over the salad. Crumble a little more goat’s cheese on top, if desired. Add mint or parsley leaves to garnish, drizzle over the dressing, and season well to taste.
