We’re bringing flavours from the North of Africa to the South, Chef! Used as a condiment, sauce, or marinade, chermoula is a herb-forward, bright, citrusy paste that you will use in homemade chicken frikkadels. These browned flavourbombs are complemented by a bed of loaded couscous, dotted with cooling mint, fresh cucumber, tasty baby tomatoes & bell pepper. Served with a zesty yoghurt.

  1. Couscous & PEAS

    Boil the kettle. Place the Couscous and peas in a bowl with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Season, cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. SOME PREP

    In a bowl, combine the mince, chermoula paste, spring onion (to taste), and season. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 mini patties per portion.

  3. CHERMOULA FRIKKADELS

  4. CHARRED TOMATOES

    Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, add the baby tomatoes and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil (optional). Fry until blistered, 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  5. JUST BEFORE SERVING

    In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and lemon juice (to taste). In the bowl with the Couscous, add the charred tomatoes, cucumber, mint, parsley, pepper, and season.
