Ingredients

  • 1bunch mint
  • 2clov garlic
  • 300g lamb mince
  • 5g chermoula seasoning
  • 150g couscous
  • 130g natural yoghurt
  • 10ml olive oil
  • 200ml boiling water
  • 5ml red or white wine vinegar

Method

  1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
    Thinly slice the zucchini. Reserve a few whole leaves, then coarsely chop the mint, discarding the stems. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2 — Brown lamb mince
    Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Cook the lamb mince, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
  3. Step 3 — Cook zucchini
    Return the pan to medium heat. Cook the zucchini, stirring, for 4 mins or until just tender. Add the mince, garlic and chermoula seasoning and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4 — Add couscous
    Stir the couscous and 200ml boiling water into the mince mixture. Cover and remove the pan from the heat. Stand for 5 mins or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Stir in half the chopped mint. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5 — Serve up
    Combine the yoghurt, remaining chopped mint and 1 tsp red wine vinegar in a bowl. Divide the lamb couscous pilaf among bowls and top with the mint yoghurt and reserved mint leaves. Enjoy!
  6. Step 6 — Make it yours
    If you have some on hand, scatter over some toasted pepitas or slivered almonds for crunch.
