- First make the sauce: mix together the honey, mustard and yoghurt. Stir in the garlic, capers, basil, mint and parsley, add the wine or vinegar and season to taste. Cover and chill.
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and a pinch of salt and cook for 10-15 minutes, adding the beans for the last 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the grill to high and put a kettle on to boil. Trim the lamb of any fat. Combine the mustard powder and sugar and rub it all over the meat, then grill it for 5 minutes on each side, or until tender.
- Cover the tomatoes with the boiling water, leave them for 1 minute, then skin, deseed and chop them.
- When the vegetables are just tender, drain them thoroughly and mix them with the tomatoes.
- Divide the potatoes and beans between four plates. Cut the lamb into thin slices and arrange them on top of the vegetables. Spoon a little sauce onto the lamb and serve the remainder on the side.
