Moroccan Mix.

Exploring new ingredients, recipes and combinations is a great way to spend a Saturday night in my book. My sister involved me in the process of creating an exciting recipe, that I had not even fathomed in my wildest foodie dreams. We started by marinading two lamb neck fillets. (Really reasonably priced and a great cut.) We coated the lamb in nutmeg, cumin, paprika, dried thyme and olive oil. The lamb was seared in a frying pan to bring out the spices. It was then placed in a dish and put in the oven for 15 minutes. We wanted it juicy pink in the middle, crisp on the outside. Meanwhile we made couscous, mixed with fresh flat leaf parsley, a fresh de-seeded red chili, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. We then mixed harissa in to some yogurt, with a drizzle of olive oil and more parsley. My sister stuffed roasted red peppers with delicious, Cheddar cheese and placed these in to the oven alongside the lamb. Take shop bought flat breads and drizzle them with olive oil, garlic and parsley, place them in damp parchment paper, wrap them and place them at the bottom of the oven for 5 minutes. Lastly mix olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper and paprika in to a bowl of humus. You are done my friend! Place these fantastic things together and enjoy! It really is a sensational array of flavours. (If you wish you can substitute the parsley for mint, oregano or thyme). - This recipe was taken from +Jamie Oliver 'Jamie's 30 Minute Meals.' Give it a go!
