Instructions
1 Prep lamb
Pat the lamb dry with kitchen paper. Using a small sharp knife, trim any silver membrane off the lamb. Peel and crush the garlic. Chop the parsley. Wash the lemon thoroughly and grate its zest with a fine blade, taking care to avoid its bitter white pith. In a small bowl, combine a generous drizzle of oliveoil with the crushed garlic, chopped parsley and 0.5 tsp of grated lemon zest.
2 Prep rice
Wash and drain the basmatirice (see pro tip). Peel and finely chop the onion. Chop the apricots and figs roughly (see tips for fussy eaters). Split the cardamompods open with a back of a knife. Discard the pods, keep the seeds. Boil the measured water and dissolve the stockcube in it.
3 Cook rice
Heat a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5-8 min until translucent. Add the drained rice, cardamomseeds, turmeric and cinnamonstick, and stir for 2 min. Add the stock, apricots, figs, cranberries and pistachios. Bring to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 12-15 min. Keep covered until serving.
4 Prep sauce and seeds
Meanwhile, combine the yogurt and the infused saffron in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside. Halve the pomegranate. Hold each pomegranate half over a large bowl, seeds facing down and hit the skin with a wooden spoon, squeezing a little to release the seeds.
5 Fry lamb
Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil. Fry the lamb for 4-7 min until browned and cooked to your liking. Once it's almost done, add the garlic, parsley and lemonoil and cook for a final 30 secs or until the lamb is coated. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 min.
6 Serve
Divide the rice among plates. Slice the rested lamb. Garnish with the pomegranate seeds and serve with the saffronyogurt.
