Mediterranean Lamb Steaks with Baked Couscous
Muir describes her choice: 'I've chosen couscous. Not very Scottish, but there's just so many different things you can do with it. So I've got pan fried lamb steaks, couscous with bits and pieces in it. I've got some lemony yogurt, baba ganoush, green olive, pomegranate and walnut salsa, and some lavash bread. Hopefully.' She explains her approach: 'There's just so many different things you can cook. You know, everywhere went there was just another different take on rice or another different take on onions, another different take on whatever it is. And it's amazing what you can do with simple ingredients.' Muir reflects on her cooking style: 'I think I'm a bit over ambitious sometimes in the kitchen. I start off with a plan. It grows and grows, and then it's often 11pm before we have a meal.' After feedback, she responds: 'I was really happy with the feedback about the couscous because, you know, it's pretty plain couscous, isn't it? Areas to work on. I'm good with that.'
Gregg: 'Muir, you chose to feature couscous and you've done a fantastic job with that couscous. It has got good texture because you baked it and it's a lovely combination. I get a different flavor each time I dip my fork in.' John: 'Your lamb could be rested a bit more and a little bit more heat on the pan. Your bread could probably do with a couple more minutes of cooking because it's just a little bit soft in the middle. There are a lot of ingredients on this plate.'
