Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES AND POTATOES:
Line an oven tray with baking paper. Using half, peel the red onion and cut in wedges, then slice the roasted capsicum. Empty the bag of steamed gourmet potatoes onto the tray, add the red onion wedges, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 15 mins. Add the roasted red capsicum to the tray and cook for a further 10 mins. Using half of the courgette, cut in half lengthways then cut in 1cm half- moons and set aside.
2. TO COOK THE LAMB STEAK:
Remove the marinated lamb leg steak from its packaging, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the steak for 2-3 mins each side for medium rare - a little longer for well done. Remove from the pan, cover and rest a few minutes before slicing.
3. TO COOK THE COURGETTE AND THE JUS:
Place the frying pan back over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot add the courgettes and cook for 2-3 mins turning only once to allow colour to develop. Add the rosemary red wine jus and cook for 1-2 mins.
TO SERVE:
Place the potatoes and vegetables on a plate and top with the sliced lamb. Spoon the courgettes and red wine jus over the lamb and finish with a sprinkle of olive and caper crumb. Add a generous crack of black pepper if desired.
