Method

  1. Step 1

    Cook the peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 mins or until tender. Drain well. Place the couscous in a large heatproof bowl. Combine 1 cup (250ml) boiling water and the lemon zest in a jug. Pour over the couscous and set aside, covered, for 5 mins or until the liquid is absorbed. Use a fork to separate the grains. Season. Stir in half the lemon juice and half the peas.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place the remaining peas and 1/3 cup (80ml) hot water in a small blender. Blend until smooth. Add the remaining lemon juice and half the mint. Blend until smooth. Season. Transfer pea puree to a small bowl.
  3. Step 3

    Heat a lightly greased barbecue or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Season the lamb and cook for 3 mins each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and set aside for 5 mins to rest. Divide the lamb and couscous mixture among serving bowls. Sprinkle with remaining mint and serve with pea puree.
