Herby Beef Koftas

Herby Beef Koftas

with Jewelled Couscous & Yoghurt

Couscous is a great side that loves to soak up flavour. We’re jazzing it up tonight with flavourful stock, lemon zest and currants so it truly holds its own against these Middle Eastern-inspired beef and parsley koftas.

Instructions

Get prepped
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the parsley leaves. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves and tomato. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.

Roll the beef koftas
2

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, beef mince, chermoula spice blend, egg, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients list), the salt and 1/2 the parsley. Using damp hands, roll the beef mixture into koftas about 8cm long and 2.5cm thick. You should get about 3 koftas per person.

Make the couscous
3

In a medium saucepan, bring the water and vegetable stock to the boil. Add the couscous, currants, lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes.

Cook the koftas
4

While the couscous is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beef koftas and cook, turning, until browned all over, 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until cooked through, 6-7 minutes.

TIP: The koftas are cooked when they are no longer pink inside.

Make the salad
5

While the koftas are cooking, combine the baby spinach, tomato and remaining parsley in a large bowl. Crumble in the feta. Drizzle with olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people), season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Fluff up the couscous with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Serve up
6

Divide the jewelled couscous, herby beef koftas and salad between plates. Dollop the yoghurt over the koftas and serve with the lemon wedges.
