Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber (see ingredients) into ribbons. 
Halve snacking tomatoes. Slice lemon into wedges. Finely chop garlic. Pick 
and finely chop rosemary (see ingredients).
• In a large bowl, combine lamb mince, fine breadcrumbs, Middle Eastern 
seasoning, rosemary, the egg and a pinch of salt.
• Using damp hands, roll lamb mixture into small koftas (you should get  
3 koftas per person).  

Cook the couscous
2

• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add half the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the 
water (see ingredients) and a good pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
• Add couscous and currants, then stir to combine. Cover with a lid and 
remove from heat.
• Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

Cook the koftas
3

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of 
olive oil. Cook remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add natural yoghurt and stir to 
combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook 
koftas, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes 
(cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
