Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly score lamb rump fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. Place lamb, fat-side down, in a large frying pan. Place pan over medium heat and cook, undisturbed, until golden, 10-12 minutes. Increase heat to high, then sear lamb on all sides for 30 seconds.
TIP: Starting the lamb in a cold pan helps the fat melt without burning.
While lamb is in the pan, cut cauliflower into small florets. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop herbs. In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and 1/2 the herbs. Season to taste. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend, the salt and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add seared lamb to the bowl, turning to coat. Transfer lamb, fat-side up, to a second lined oven tray. Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove from oven, cover with foil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: The meat will keep cooking as it rests!
While lamb is roasting, wash and dry frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast pearl couscous (see ingredients), stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. Add the water, currants and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until couscous is tender and water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
While couscous is cooking, zest lemon to get a pinch. Roughly chop mixed leaves. Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with the butter. Cook until melted and browned slightly, 2-3 minutes. Add the roasted cauliflower, capers, lemon zest and remaining herbs. Toss to coat, then remove from heat. To bowl with the couscous, add cauliflower mixture, mixed leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
Slice chermoula lamb. Divide pearl couscous toss between plates. Top with lamb, pouring over any resting juices. Dollop over the herb yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
