Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high; put the lamb steaks on a large, foil-lined tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, then sprinkle with 2 tsp ras el hanout; season, then rub in to coat. Turn over and repeat on the other side. Grill for 4-5 mins each side until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a warm plate, cover and rest for 5 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, swirl the houmous and yogurt together on a serving platter. Mix the harissa paste with the lemon juice, remaining 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. Serve with flatbreads or pittas, if you like.
