Instructions

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.

IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Once the beef has browned, add the chermoula and half the garlic. Stir and cook for 1 min.

Pour in the passata, sugar and water for the beef (see pantry for amount), then stir in the beef stock paste and harissa paste.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Leave the stew to simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins.

IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, boil your kettle.

Put the couscous into a large bowl. Add the chicken stock paste, the remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the boiling water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) into the bowl.

Stir together, cover tightly with cling film and leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

Add the spinach to the stew a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste the stew and season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount).

Crumble the Greek style salad cheese.

Fluff up the couscous with a fork.

Divide the couscous between bowls and spoon over the beef stew.

Top with the Greek style salad cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
