Instructions

Cook the Couscous
1

a) Pour the water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and half the chicken stock paste into a saucepan, then 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
2

a) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb mince, courgette and onion. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. 

c) 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.

Bring on the Flavour
3

a) Once the lamb is browned, add chermoula spice mix and cook until fragrant, 1 min. 

b) Add the remaining chicken stock paste, tomato passata, harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

c) Stir to combine and bring to the boil.

Simmer your Lamb
4

a) Lower the heat of the lamb pan to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 4-6 mins.

Add the Spinach
5

a) Once thickened, stir the spinach into the lamb a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork.

b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, then share between your bowls.

c) Top with the lamb and sprinkle over the toasted almonds to finish.

d) Enjoy!
