A sumptuous lamb feast with a Middle Eastern twist. This tender lamb rump is spiced with chermoula, then paired with crispy sumac wedges and a crunchy turnip salad. Don’t forget to rest your lamb for 10 minutes after cooking for the perfect slices that are blushing and moist.
Keep an eye out... Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced radish with turnip, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

1 packet
lamb rump
3
potato
1 sachet
chermoula spice blend
½
carrot
1 bag
salad leaves
1 sachet
Turkish Sumac Seasoning
1
white turnip
olive oil
1 tsp
honey
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1 drizzle
white wine vinegar
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Lightly score the fat of the lamb rump in a criss-cross pattern. Place the lamb, fat-side down, in a large frying pan (no need for oil!). Place the pan over a medium heat and cook, undisturbed, until golden, 10-12 minutes. Increase the heat to high and sear the lamb on all sides for 30 seconds.
While the lamb is cooking, cut the potato into wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven, then add the Turkish sumac seasoning and toss to coat.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the potatoes are roasting, combine the chermoula spice blend, a drizzle of water and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Transfer the lamb, fat-side up to a second lined oven tray and use the back of a spoon to spread the spice mixture over the lamb.
Roast the lamb for 15-20 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove the lamb from the oven, then add the honey and butter and cover with foil. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: The lamb will keep cooking as it rests!
While the lamb is roasting, grate the carrot (see ingredients). Thinly slice the mini white turnip. In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Add the mixed salad leaves, carrot and turnip. Season to taste and toss to combine.
Slice the spiced Middle Eastern lamb rump. Divide the lamb, sumac potato wedges and the turnip salad between plates. Spoon any resting juices over the lamb to serve.
