4 None lamb rumps
None None Oil for brushing, plus additional 1 tbsp
2 cups couscous
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
None None FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN SAUCE
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 None onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
3 None jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
6 None sun-dried tomato pieces, chopped
1/2 cup jarred marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp honey

2 cups reduced sodium chicken stock

1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Bring the lamb out of the refrigerator for 30 mins before you cook it.
2
Meanwhile, for the Mediterranean sauce, process all the ingredients except the chicken stock to a coarse puree. Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add the paste and cook for 10 mins, stirring, so it doesn't stick and burn. Add stock and simmer gently for 15 mins until reduced to a thick sauce. Keep warm until needed.
3
Heat a large skillet on high heat. Brush the lamb with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook lamb, in batches, until browned all over.
4
Transfer lamb to a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 14 mins. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let stand for 10 mins. Slice the lamb just before serving.
5
Cook the couscous according to the package directions. Stir in the 1 tbsp olive oil and herbs.
6
To serve, spoon couscous onto plates. Top with slices of lamb and some sauce. Sprinkle with pistachios (crumbled feta is a nice touch too, if you have it).
