Ingredients
800 grams lean beef mince.
2 teaspoons beef stock powder.
2 teaspoons garlic pepper steak seasoning.
1 cup couscous.
1 2/3 cups boiling water.
Olive oil cooking spray.
400 gram can chickpeas, rinsed.
1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped.
1/4 cup parsley leaves, chopped.
1 lemon, rind grated finely, juiced.
1 small red onion, chopped finely.
1/2 cup raisins, chopped finely.
2 roma tomatoes, chopped finely.
1/3 cup natural yoghurt.
Method
In a large bowl, combine beef mince, stock powder and steak seasoning.
Mix well using your hands, and then form tablespoons of mince mixture into balls.
Place couscous in a large bowl.
Pour in boiling water (enough to cover).
Cover bowl and allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes. The water should have been absorbed. Stir with a fork to separate grains.
Over medium heat, place a large non-stick frying pan.
Spray the meatballs with oil and add to the pan, cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
To the couscous add the chickpeas, mint, parsley, lemon rind, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, onion, raisins and tomatoes.
Stir through and season with salt and pepper.
Serving
Spoon couscous into bowls and top with meatballs. Pour over a little yoghurt, and serve.
