Method

  1. Preheat the grill to medium. Cook the couscous in a large bowl, according to the pack instructions, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the redcurrant jelly and sesame seeds, then brush over the cutlets on both sides, to coat. Arrange the cutlets on a grill rack, then grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how pink you like them.
  3. Meanwhile, add the tomatoes, cashews, mint and red onion to the couscous. Season. Using a fork, fluff up the grains and mix together. Serve the couscous with the grilled lamb chops.
