Don’t feel you have to use the herbs listed below, try experimenting with your own favorites

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 350 g lamb fillet
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp chopped mixed fresh herbs (e.g. parsley, rosemary, mint)
• 25 g fresh white breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper
• 175 g couscous
• 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
• 300 ml hot vegetable stock
• juice of 1 lemon

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Brush the lamb with a little of the oil. Mix the herbs and breadcrumbs and season. Press the mixture all over the lamb to form a coating. Transfer to a roasting tin, add the remaining oil and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cooked.
2. 10 minutes before the lamb is cooked, put the couscous and pine nuts in a bowl and pour over the vegetable stock and lemon juice. Leave to stand, in a warm place, for about 7 minutes, then fluff up with a fork. Slice the lamb and serve.
