Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Grate the carrot (see ingredients). Trim the baby broccoli and cut into thirds, slicing any thicker stalks in half lengthways. Slice the lemon into wedges.

2

In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, chermoula spice blend, egg, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), 1/2 the garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Crumble in the cheese and mix well. Using damp hands, take heaped spoonfuls of the beef mixture and shape into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 5-6 meatballs per person.

3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the baby broccoli, tossing, until tender, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.

4

While the meatballs are cooking, heat a medium saucepan over a medium heat with the butter. Cook the carrot, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

5

In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, baby broccoli, couscous and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. TIP: Combine everything in the saucepan to save on washing up!

6

Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Divide the couscous tabbouleh between plates and top with the beef and crumbly cheese meatballs. Dollop over the hummus and garnish with the parsley to serve. Enjoy!
