Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop mint leaves. Roughly chop roasted almonds. Set aside. • Cut pitted dates (see ingredients) into halves.

• In a baking dish, combine coconut milk, passata, dates, chermoula spice blend and 1/2 of the vegetable stock powder (1 sachet) • Place slow-cooked lamb shoulder in the baking dish, turning to coat. Pour liquid from the packaging over the lamb (for a 4-person portion, separate the lamb into its two pieces!). • Cover the dish with foil, then roast for 25 minutes. • Remove from oven. Uncover, then turn lamb over. Roast, uncovered, until browned and heated through, a further 10-12 minutes.

TIP: If the lamb has a fat layer, turn the fat-side up after removing the foil.

• While the lamb is roasting, combine pearl couscous, remaining vegetable stock powder and the water in a second baking dish. • Bake until couscous is 'al dente' and water is absorbed, 24-28 minutes.

TIP: 'Al dente' pearl couscous is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• When the lamb has 5 minutes remaining, combine Greek-style yoghurt and mint in a small bowl. • Crumble in fetta cubes. • Stir to combine.

• Roughly chop chargrilled capsicums. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Add capsicums and salad leaves. Toss to coat.

• Shred lamb directly in the baking dish using two forks (or slice, if you prefer). • Divide pearl couscous and chargrilled capsicum salad between plates. Top with chermoula-style lamb, spooning over any remaining sauce from the baking dish. • Top with almonds and mint-fetta yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
