Let stand for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet. Sear the lamb until all sides are browned.
Remove lamb to a roasting pan.
Roast lamb for 35 to 40 minutes.
While the lamb is cooking, add onions and peppers to the skillet used for searing the lamb.
Sauté until soft. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, basil, lemon and chili powder.
Bring to a boil and add the rice.
Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed.
