Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and cut the carrot, parsnips, swede and red onion into similar-sized chunks. Toss the veg with 1 tbsp oil, the smoked paprika and some seasoning, and roast for 40-50 minutes until tender, golden and caramelised. Give them a shake halfway through cooking.

When the veg have 10 minutes left, rub the ras el hanout into the lamb steaks, season and leave at room temperature while you heat a griddle pan to very hot. Drizzle the steaks with 2 tsp oil and grill for 2-4 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. Leave to rest under foil.

Tip the chickpeas onto the roasting tray and toss with the veg. Put back in the oven for 5 minutes for the chickpeas to warm through, then squeeze over the lemon, and mix in the coriander. Serve with the lamb.
