Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Mix the ras el hanout with a pinch of salt and rub over the lamb. Brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and grill for 5 mins each side or until cooked. Transfer to a warm plate, cover with foil and rest for 5 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the houmous and yogurt in a bowl and swirl onto a serving platter. Mix the harissa paste with the lemon juice, remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt. Slice the lamb. Stir a little of the harissa oil through the houmous, then top with the lamb. Drizzle with the remaining harissa oil and top with the herbs.
