Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut carrot and zucchini into large chunks. Place veggies to a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, harissa paste and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs. Transfer meatballs to baking dish with veggies. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person. Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Bake until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.
Remove meatballs from oven, then add chermoula spice blend, the plain flour, coconut milk, the water, passata, honey, stirring until combined. [check flour & water quant.] Turn meatballs to coat. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until meatballs are cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Uncover and bake until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. [check timing]
While meatballs are baking, boil the kettle. In a baking dish, combine pearl couscous, chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (see ingredients). Bake until couscous is 'al dente' and the water is absorbed, 23-25 minutes. Remove from oven, stir through baby spinach leaves and drizzle with olive oil, until combined.
Divide spinach pearl couscous between bowls. Top with Moroccan-style beef meatballs. Spoon over sauce from pan.
While meatballs are braising, boil the kettle. In a baking dish, combine pearl couscous, chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (see ingredients). Bake until couscous is 'al dente' and the water is absorbed, 24-28 minutes. [check timing - oven temp. is lower than usual] Remove from oven, stir through harissa paste and baby spinach leaves, until combined.
