Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Carrots

1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Trim the carrots, then slice into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel).

c) Pop the carrots onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then scatter over the cumin. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and golden, 15-16 mins. Turn halfway through.

Couscous Time

2

a) Meanwhile, pour the water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and half the chicken stock paste into a saucepan and bring to the boil.

b) When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and pop a lid on the pan.

c) Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

Fry the Lamb

3

a) While everything cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

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

Finish the Prep

4

a) While the lamb cooks, roughly chop the prunes.

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

Simmer and Spice

5

a) Lower the heat to medium and stir the garlic, tomato puree and harissa paste into the lamb. Cook for 1 min more.

b) Add the water for the lamb (see pantry for amount), prunes and the remaining chicken stock paste. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

c) Cook until the mixture has thickened, 5-7 mins.

Season and Serve

6

a) When everything's ready, carefully fluff up the couscous with a fork, then season with salt and pepper.

b) Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

c) Divide the couscous between your bowls and spoon over the lamb stew.

d) Top with the roasted cumin carrots and a spoonful of yoghurt.

Enjoy!
