Instructions

Beef Frying
1

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef mince. Break up the beef with a wooden spoon as it browns and cook for 5-6 mins.

Prep Veg
2

Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim the courgette then slice into rounds about 1cm thick. Zest the lemon.

Simmer the Sauce
3

Once the beef has browned, add the pepper. Stir together and cook until starting to soften, 6-7 mins. Add the chermoula, stir and cook for 1 minute more. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and water (see ingredients for amount), then stir in the stock powder. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Leave the stew to simmer until thick and tomatoey, 15-20 mins.

Couscous
4

Meanwhile, boil your kettle. Put the couscous in a bowl. Add the lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the boiling water for the couscous (see ingredients for amount) into the bowl, cover tightly with cling film and leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

Charred Courgette
5

Meanwhile, heat another frying pan on high heat (no oil). Add the courgette and leave to cook until charred, 4-5 mins each side. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. Crumble the feta.

Serve Up
6

Taste the stew and season to taste with salt and pepper if needed then luff up the couscous with a fork. Taste and add lemon juice if you like things zesty. Divide between bowls, spoon over the beef stew and finish with some charred courgette and top with the feta. Enjoy!
