FLAVA FLAV COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with the stock and 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
FRUITY, NUTTY & TOASTY
Roughly chop the nut & apricot mix. Place the chopped nuts & apricots in a pan over medium heat. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FRUITY CHICKEN MINCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and the NOMU rub, working quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, mix through ½ the toasted nuts & apricots. Season and set aside.
LOADED COUSCOUS
When the couscous is done, toss through the diced cucumber and the remaining chopped nuts & apricots. Set aside.
YOGHURT DRIZZLE
In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with ½ the chopped mint and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
THAT’S ALL, CHEF!
Plate up the loaded couscous and top with the apricot mince mixture. Drizzle over the minted yoghurt and garnish with the remaining mint. Yum!
