Ingredients

Moroccan Lamb

  • 1 pack lamb leg steaks
  • 1 pack Moroccan spice blend

Salad

  • 1 capsicum
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 tomato
  • ¼ red onion *
  • 1 pack green beans *
  • ½ cup pearl couscous
  • ½ pack harissa dressing

Harissa Mayo

  • ½ pack harissa dressing

Steps

  1. Marinate lamb Preheat BBQ grill to high heat (if using). Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Pat lamb dry and toss in a bowl with Moroccan spice blend and a pinch of salt.
  2. Prep salad Dice capsicum, cucumber and tomato 1cm; finely dice onion; thinly slice beans. Place all in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Cook lamb Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook lamb for about 2-3 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly. Alternatively cook lamb on BBQ.
  4. Cook couscous Cook pearl couscous in pot of boiling water for about 8 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
