• See ‘Top Roast Tips!’ (below left).
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Cut eggplant into bite-sized chunks. Place on
a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season
with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a
large bowl and allow to cool slightly.

• Meanwhile, lightly score lamb fat in a 1cm
criss-cross pattern. Season lamb rump all over
and place, fat-side down, in a large frying pan
(no need for oil!).
• Place pan over medium heat and cook
undisturbed until golden, 10-12 minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and sear lamb rump on
all sides for 30 seconds.
TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat
melt without burning.

• While the lamb is cooking, thinly slice onion
(see ingredients).
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion,
the white wine vinegar, a good pinch of sugar
and salt and enough water to just cover.
• Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between
each, until softened. Set aside.

• Transfer lamb, fat-side up, to a second lined
oven tray. Use the back of a spoon to spread
harissa paste evenly over lamb.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium or until
cooked to your liking.
• Remove from oven and rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: The lamb will keep cooking as it rests!

• While the lamb is resting, finely chop garlic.
• Drizzle flatbreads with olive oil and season
with salt.
• Bake directly on a wire rack until warmed
through, 4-7 minutes.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high
heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic until
fragrant, 1 minute.
• Allow garlic oil to cool slightly, then stir into a
bowl with natural yoghurt. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.

• To the bowl with cooled eggplant, add mixed
salad leaves and a drizzle of olive oil and
vinegar. Tear in mint leaves, toss to combine
and season to taste.
• Drain pickled onion. Slice lamb.
• Divide harissa roast lamb and minty eggplant
salad between plates. Garnish salad with
pickled onion and serve wth garlic yoghurt and
flatbreads. Enjoy!
