Cooking Steps

1
1

Finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the tomato. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Roughly chop the parsley. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch and slice into wedges.

2

In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, chermoula spice blend, the salt, egg, fine breadcrumbs and 1/3 of the garlic. Crumble in the fetta cubes and mix well. Using damp hands, shape heaped spoonfuls of the beef mixture into meatballs and set aside on a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Ad the water (for the couscous) and the crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
