Combine the yoghurt, garlic, tomato paste, thyme, coriander, olive oil, salt and pepper to make a marinade. Rub the marinade over the Lamb Loin Fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
In the meantime, put the couscous, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large glass jar. Add 1 cup of boiling water to the jar, mix with a fork and close it with a lid. Rest for 10 minutes. Tip the couscous into a bowl, add the butter, fluff the couscous with a fork and rest until cold.
To make the dressing, mix the rest of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives and herbs to the couscous, pour the dressing over the top, and stir with a fork.
Remove the lamb from the fridge and bloom at room temperature for 10 minutes. Preheat a skillet pan to medium-high heat and cook following the instructions on pack. Rest for 5 minutes and slice across the grain.
Serve on a platter with the couscous salad, pita bread, chargrilled vegetables, hummus, tzatziki, olives and radishes.
