There's couscous and then there's veggie couscous. The key here is to cook it to fluffy perfection, then take it to another level by bringing it together with the fresh and punchy elements of capsicum and spinach. It serves as the perfect bed for the juicy, spiced beef.
This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.
Keep an eye out... Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced baby spinach with cucumber, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!
