Couscous — the grain so nice they named it twice! Here we’ve added sweet currants and nutty almonds for a pop of flavour, and topped the whole thing off with mildly spiced beef strips and greens. Don’t forget the generous dollop of cooling yoghurt to bring the meal together.

• Grate carrot. Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and baby leaves. • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and half the garlic, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder, then bring to the boil. • Add couscous, stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork, then stir through baby leaves, tomato and currants. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside uncovered.
• While the couscous is cooking, combine Aussie spice blend, remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. • Add beef strips and toss to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast slivered almonds, tossing, until toasted, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
• Divide currant couscous between bowls. • Top with spiced beef. Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt. • Tear over parsley and garnish with slivered almonds to serve. Enjoy!
