Fresh and zingy, chermoula spice mix is widely used in North African cuisine. Made with fragrant herbs and spices such as paprika, ground turmeric, ground coriander, as well as citrussy dried lemon peel, this spice mix is ideal mixed with oil to create a flavourful marinade for meat and fish.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Fry the Lamb
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

b) Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

c) Once hot, add the lamb mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Cook the Rice
2

a) While the mince cooks, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.

b) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve, then pop it on top of the pan and allow to steam until ready to serve.

Prep Time
3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).

Spice Things Up
4

a) Once the lamb has browned, add the garlic, harissa paste, chermoula spice mix (add less of both if you'd prefer things milder) and tomato puree. Cook for 1 min more.

b) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste. Season with salt and pepper.

c) Bring to the boil, then cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 mins.

Mix your Mint Yoghurt
5

a) Meanwhile, mix together the yoghurt and half the mint in a small bowl.

b) Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked rice to the lamb and mix well to combine.

b) Share the lamb and rice between your bowls.

c) Spoon the mint yoghurt on top and sprinkle over the remaining mint to finish.

Enjoy!
