Family Easy Lamb Koftas

In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince with the cumin & cinnamon spice mix. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the lamb mince mixture into 10 cm long sausages and place on a plate. If you’re using skewers, insert the sausages onto the skewers (you should get 10 koftas).

Place the couscous in a large bowl with the boiling water (the trick to fluffy couscous is equal parts boiling water and couscous). Stir and then cover the bowl tightly with cling wrap, leave to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the cling wrap, add the lime zest and half of the olive oil and fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the parsley, tomato, cucumber and slivered almonds (if you’re using them). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the koftas and cook, turning occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice from half the wedges, Greek yoghurt and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
