KASUNDI BEEF
- 300g beef mince
- ½ egg
- 1 teaspoon tagine spices
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ brown onion, thinly sliced
- ½ clove garlic, minced
- 1½ teaspoons ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon tagine spices
- ¾ cup chicken stock
- 1 tomato, diced 2cm
- ½ courgette
- 2 tablespoons kasundi
COUSCOUS
- ¾ cup chicken stock
- ¾ cup couscous
CUCUMBER SOUR CREAM
- ½ Lebanese cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid
- ½ pottle sour cream

Steps
-
In a large bowl, combine mince, egg, first measure of tagine spices and salt and mix together well. Roll mixture into golf-ballsized balls and set aside on a plate.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on high heat. Cook meatballs for about 4 minutes, turning regularly, until browned but not cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add onion to pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until tender.
-
Add garlic, ginger and second measure of tagine spices and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Return meatballs to pan and add first measure of stock and tomato. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened.
-
Grate courgette and add to pan with sauce, along with kasundi. Cook for about 1 minute, until courgette is tender. Season with salt and pepper.
-
While sauce is simmering, bring second measure of stock to the boil in a medium pot on high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, add couscous and stir. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, then fluff up grains with a fork. Mix cucumber and sour cream together in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
spoon couscous into bowls and top with kasundi beef. Sprinkle with almonds and dollop over a little of cucumber sour cream. Serve extra kasundi on the side (if using).
