Instructions

Quick Prep
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Pop a saucepan on high heat. Add the butter and boiled water for the couscous (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil. 
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous and chicken stock paste.
  • Cover, then leave to the side for 8-10 mins.
Fry Mince
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, fry the beef mince, mushrooms and chermoula spice mix, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • In the meantime, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

  • Add the chickpeas and their liquid to the beef.
  • Stir in the tomato puree, harissa, beef stock paste, honey and sugar (see pantry). TIP: Put hardened honey in hot water for 1 min.
