- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.

- To a small pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. (TIP: We love to use olive oil in this recipe!). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous.
- Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min, or until serving, to rehydrate.

- To one side of the grill, add koftas. Close lid and grill koftas for 3-5 min per side, until cooked through.** Transfer to a clean plate.
