- Place a pan over medium heat (no oil)
- Once hot, add the pumpkin seeds and dry-fry, shifting constantly, 1 min. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Return the pan to a high heat (without oil).
- When the pan is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Meanwhile, trim the courgette then slice into 1cm thick rounds.
- Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
- Once the beef has browned, add the cumin, paprika and Middle Eastern spice.
- Stir and cook for 1 min more.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, honey and 150ml water (double for 4p).
- Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper.
- Allow to simmer until thickened, 15-20 mins.
TIP: Add a splash more water if it becomes too dry.
- While the stew simmers, boil your kettle (or a pot of water if you haven't got one).
- Add the couscous to a medium bowl with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour 200ml boiling water (double for 4p) into the bowl along with the beef stock powder.
- Stir together, cover and leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
- Place a separate pan over high heat (without oil).
- When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins. Turn only every few mins—this will allow it to pick up a nice colour.
- Once cooked, transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Taste the stew and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with beef stew and charred courgette.
- Crumble over the Greek style cheese.
- Finish with a sprinkling of chopped chives and pumpkin seeds.
