Cooking Steps

Make the couscous
1

• Boil the kettle. 
• In a medium heatproof bowl, add couscous, currants and stock concentrate.
• Add the boiling water (see ingredients) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes.
• Fluff up with a fork and set aside.  

Cook the lamb
2

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook lamb mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Add Middle Eastern seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in a splash of water until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Bring it all together
3

• Roughly chop cucumber. Halve snacking tomatoes.
• To the couscous, add cucumber, tomatoes, spinach & rocket mix and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. Season to taste.  

Finish & serve
4

• Divide jewelled couscous between bowls. Top with Middle Eastern lamb and a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt (see ingredients) to serve. Enjoy!
