Ingredients

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 x 500g lamb rump roasts, at room temperature
1 tbsp coriander seeds, crushed
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp honey
500g cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch radishes, trimmed and shredded
1 white onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup baby capers
1 small bunch of mint, leaves thinly sliced

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220C fan-forced (240C conventional). Place a medium roasting tray in the oven to preheat.
Step 2
Rub the lamb with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and season it with coriander seeds, salt and pepper. Place the lamb on the hot tray and roast for 20-30 minutes, until the lamb is medium-rare, or cooked to your liking. Turn it halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lamb from the oven and rest, loosely covered, for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, honey and the remaining oil in a medium bowl. Season. Add the tomatoes and gently crush them with a fork so they release their juices. Add the radish, onion, capers and mint and gently toss to coat everything in the dressing.
Step 4
Cut the lamb into slices and serve with the salad and tomato dressing.
