Preparation
1
Cook couscous

  • Add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, stock powder and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a small pot. (TIP: We love to use olive oil in this recipe!). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  • Stir couscous into the boiling water. Cover and remove from heat. 
  • Set aside for at least 5 min, or until ready to assemble at the end. 

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, quarter, then core pepper. 
  • Add peppers to a plate, then drizzle all over with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Quarter cucumber lenthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Roughly chop mint leaves.
  • Roughly chop parsley. 

3
Marinate cucumbers and mix hummus

  • Add cucumbers, lemon juice, half the lemon zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. 
  • In a small bowl, combine hummus and roasted pepper pesto. 

4
Form koftas

  • Add turkey, breadcrumbs, Harissa Spice Blend and remaining lemon zest to another large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer more tender koftas, add an egg to the mixture!) Season with pepper, then combine. 
  • Form koftas into six (twelve) equal 2-inch wide patties, then place on a plate.
  • Gather peppers, koftas, a clean plate for cooked koftas and any tools, then head out to grill!

5
Grill peppers and patties

  • Add koftas to one side of the grill. Close lid and grill patties, flipping once, until cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**  Transfer cooked patties to the clean plate.
  • Meanwhile, add peppers to grill. Close lid and grill peppers, flipping once, until tender, 3-4 min. Return peppers to the same plate.

6
Finish and serve

  • Roughly chop grilled peppers.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork.
  • Add peppers, couscous, mint and parsley to the bowl with cucumbers, then toss to combine. 
  • Divide herby couscous between plates.
