Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lamb chops or leg steaks, trimmed
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 red onion , finely chopped
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
200g couscous
5 tbsp pine nuts , toasted
8 dates , stoned and finely chopped

20g pack each mint and flat-leaf parsley , roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Place the lamb in a bowl. Sprinkle over the paprika, half the onion, 1 tbsp vinegar and ½ tbsp oil. Season, then set aside.
