Method
Lamb is a natural foil for herby flavours, and these minted lamb kebabs are great with the homemade tabbouleh. Strong flavours such as beetroot and walnut work with crunchy carrot and herbs, while the zesty dressing adds even more depth.
- Heat a griddle pan, or the grill, until really hot. Brush the kebabs with a little olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes, turning often, until they are browned all over and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, put the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the hot stock. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 5-10 minutes, until all the stock has been absorbed and the couscous is soft. Heat a small pan over a medium heat, add the walnuts and cook for 3 minutes, until lightly toasted. Leave to cool.
- Peel the carrot, then finely chop, along with the beetroot. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, then stir through the veg, parsley, mint and walnuts, reserving a little of the herbs and some walnuts to garnish. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients, stir through the couscous and serve alongside the kebabs.
