LEMONY COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam until tender, 5-8 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.
ROLLIN, ROLLIN, ROLLIN
In a bowl, mix the lamb mince, the diced onion (to taste), the rub, the grated ginger and some seasoning. Wet your hands slightly to stop the mixture from sticking, and roll into 4-5 meatballs.
SO SEEDY
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
ALMOST THERE
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
ONE MORE STEP
Once the couscous is cooked, toss through the rinsed spinach, the peas, some lemon zest, some lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. In a separate bowl, toss the diced tomato with a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning.
WOW!
Dish up a pile of the lemony couscous mix. Top with the meatballs and drizzle over the raita. Sprinkle over the toasted sunflower seeds. Serve with the diced tomatoes and the remaining lemon wedge. Beautiful, Chef!
