Preparation
1
Get Started

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins. Add the sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.

2
Make the Koftas

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts) along with half the garlic.

Add the lamb mince to the breadcrumbs, season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Shape the lamb mixture into mini sausage shapes, 4 per person. Flatten to make koftas.

Pop them onto a large baking tray. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The koftas are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

3
Finish the Prep

While the koftas bake, boil a full kettle. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds. 

Pour the boiled water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and half the chicken stock paste into the onion pan and bring to the boil.

When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

4
Start the Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar with a drizzle of oil and pinch of sugar. Set aside.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the tomato puree, green beans and the remaining garlic to the pan. Fry for 1 min.

5
Simmer your Harissa Sauce

Stir through the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and remaining chicken stock paste. Simmer until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, 4-5 mins.

Once thickened, stir through the harissa (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and honey (see pantry for amount). Remove from the heat.

Add the koftas to the sauce and turn to coat. 

6
Serve Up

When everything's ready, fluff up the couscous. Toss the baby leaves through the dressing.

Share the couscous between your bowls and top with the koftas and harissa sauce.

Serve the baby leaf salad alongside to finish. 

Enjoy!
