Cooking Instructions and Tips

a) Heat a large frying pan over medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the flaked almonds and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 1-2 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as the can burn easily. Set aside in a bowl. b) In the same frying pan, heat a drizzle of oil over high heat. Once hot, add the beef and cook until browned, 4-5 mins, break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess oil from the pan. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. c) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp of salt for the rice. b) When boiling, add the rice and cook for 12 mins. c) Drain in a sieve, pop back in the pan, cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

a) While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all), trim the spring onion then thinly slice. b) On medium-high heat, stir the red onion into the pan with the beef. Cook the onion until soft, 3-4 mins. c) Lower the heat and add the garlic, harissa paste and turmeric and cook, stirring, for 1 min.

a) Stir the beef stock paste and water (see ingredients for amounts), into the beef mix and bring to the boil. b) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time and stir in until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

a) Put the Greek yoghurt into a small bowl and mix in half of the coriander. Season with salt and black pepper then set aside. b) Fold the cooked rice gently through the beef mixture with the remaining coriander. c) Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

a) Serve the beef pilaf in deep bowls with a generous dollop of coriander yoghurt. b) Sprinkle the toasted flaked almonds and sliced spring onion over the pilaf. Enjoy!
