FOR THE CRUST

Pre-heat the oven to 200øC/400øF/gas mark 6 Heat a large frying pan until hot, then add 2 tbsp olive oil and the seasoned lamb fillets. Fry for 1 minute on each side until browned. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Pat the lamb fillets dry with kitchen towel.

Place all the ingredients for the crust, except the tomatoes, black olives and honey, into a food processor and blend until fine breadcrumbs are formed. Place into a medium bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix to form a stiff paste.

Divide the crust equally between the fillets and press on to coat one side totally. Place in the oven for 5-8 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving, sliced thickly, with roasted new potatoes.
