Cooking Steps

• Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• Meanwhile, slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a large bowl, combine lamb mince, fine breadcrumbs, chermoula spice blend and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll lamb mixture into koftas about 8cm long and 2.5cm thick (3 per person).

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook koftas, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Reduce heat to medium, add Moroccan curry paste, the honey, cream (see ingredients) and a splash of water, and cook, stirring until reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

• In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide rapid rice between bowls. • Top with lamb koftas and cucumber salad. Pour Moroccan sauce over koftas. Enjoy!
