SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 x 2kg Coles Slow Cook Lamb Shoulder (bone in), trimmed of excess fat
• 2 teaspoons Coles whole cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coles ground cinnamon
• Sea salt and pepper
• Coles Baking paper
• Coles Aluminum foil

BROCCOLI TABBOULEH:

• 2 large heads broccoli, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup (80ml) Cobram Estate Classic EVOO
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1/2 cup pistachio nuts
• 1/2 cup roast almonds, chopped
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 large pomegranate, seeds removed (around 1 cup)
• 1/3 cup currants
• 1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra to serve
• 1/2 bunch mint, chopped

TAHINI DRESSING:

• 1 Tablespoon tahini paste
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2/3 cup Coles Greek yoghurt
• 1 tablespoon honey

METHOD:

• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Place the lamb into a deep sided baking tray and scatter with the cumin, cinnamon, seas salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the tray and cover the lamb with baking paper and seal with foil. Bake for 4 hours, then remove the foil and bake for a further 30 minutes at 200 degrees C to crisp up the outside of the lamb.
• While the lamb is resting, heat 20ml of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the broccoli, season with a pinch of sea salt and cook for 2 minutes to slightly soften the broccoli, but leave it with a bit of crunch. Remove the broccoli from the pan and place in a large bowl to cool slightly.
• Whisk together remaining 40ml of olive oil with the lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of sea salt and set aside.
• Whisk together all the tahini dressing ingredients with a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
• Mix all the remaining tabbouleh ingredients into the broccoli and pour over the reserved lemon dressing. Toss well to coat then place onto a platter or serving bowls. Top with pieces of lamb and drizzle over the tahini dressing. Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
