• Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice celery. • In a medium bowl, combine lamb mince, ras el hanout, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and the salt. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of lamb mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). • In a large saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned, 4-5 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Add carrot and celery, and cook, tossing until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add chermoula spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add crushed & sieved tomatoes, the brown sugar, butter, water and half the vegetable stock powder. • Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Place couscous and the remaining vegetable stock powder in a medium heatproof bowl. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
• Divide couscous between bowls. Top with lamb meatball and veggie stew. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt and tear over mint (see ingredients) to serve. Enjoy!
