Ingredients

1 x 150g pack wholegrain couscous
½ tbsp redcurrant jelly
1 tsp sesame seeds
400g (4-6) lamb cutlets
100g baby plum tomatoes, halved
50g unsalted cashews, toasted
Small bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
½ small red onion, finely sliced

Method

Preheat the grill to medium. Cook the couscous in a large bowl, according to the pack instructions, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the redcurrant jelly and sesame seeds, then brush over the cutlets on both sides, to coat. Arrange the cutlets on a grill rack, then grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how pink you like them.
Meanwhile, add the tomatoes, cashews, mint and red onion to the couscous. Season. Using a fork, fluff up the grains and mix together. Serve the couscous with the grilled lamb chops.

If there’s leftover couscous, mix it with some feta for a simple lunchbox.
