Cooking Steps

1
1

Grate the carrot (see ingredients). Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the tomato and cucumber. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves.

Melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the couscous) and crumbled vegetable stock cubes (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Bring to the boil. Add the wholemeal couscous, stir to combine then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the chermoula spice blend, some Greek-style yoghurt (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people), a squeeze of lemon juice and drizzle of olive oil. Add the pork strips and toss to coat.
