1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • While it boils, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the beef, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Couscous Time

  • Meanwhile, put the couscous in a bowl.
  • Pour in the boiled water (see pantry). Stir in half the chicken stock paste.
  • Cover tightly with cling film. Leave until ready to serve.
  • In the meantime, open the remaining sachets.

  • Next, add the tomato puree, cumin and roasted spice and herb blend to the beef. Cook, 1 min.
  • Stir in the remaining chicken stock paste, the sun-dried tomato paste, honey, butter and water (see pantry for all three amounts). Bring to the boil and simmer, 2-3 mins.
  • Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.

  • Fluff up the couscous, then share between your bowls.
  • Top with the beef.
  • Drizzle over the yoghurt.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of flaked almonds.
  • Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, though some found it lacking in flavour or overpowered by cumin.
  • Ease of prep: Reviewers praised the recipe for being quick and easy to prepare, with a 15-minute cooking time.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding peppers to bulk out the dish, and adjust the spice blend to taste.
  • Portions: Some felt the beef-to-couscous ratio was small; consider increasing the amount of mince.
