Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 Baking sheet, 1 Small bowl, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Box grater, 1 Rolling pin, 1 Salad spinner

Preparation steps

Soak the couscous according to the packet instructions and set aside.

For the meatballs, heat a little of the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) and cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for 1 minute.

Place the lamb in a large bowl, add the onion mixture and the egg and season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into meatballs with your hands.

Wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper, add the remaining oil and gently fry the meatballs for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. Stir them frequently so ensure even cooking.

Meanwhile, fluff the couscous up with a fork and mix in the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and serve topped with the meatballs and the rocket and harissa alongside.
