Ingredients

COUSCOUS SALAD

  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup water
  • 1-2 teaspoons Moroccan spice mix
  • 1 packet couscous
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 1 packet golden raisins
  • 1 sachet saffron and orange dressing

MOROCCAN LAMB

  • 550g lamb rump steaks (at room temperature)

Steps

  1. BBQ hot plate or grill to medium (if using).

  4. Cook lamb for about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside on a plate, covered in foil, to rest.
  5. While lamb cooks, grate carrot and dice tomatoes and cucumber 2cm. Set aside.
  6. When couscous has finished cooking, add veggies to pot, along with golden raisins and dressing. Toss well to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. divide couscous salad between plates and top with Moroccan lamb and a dollop of mint yoghurt.
