Ingredients:
  • 8 French-trimmed lamb cutlets
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow capsicum, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, halved
  • 150g (3/4 cup) couscous
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) boiling water
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, top leaves torn off
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 90g (1/3 cup) Greek-style yoghurt
  • 2 tsp harissa paste
Instructions:
  • Season lamb with cumin and salt. Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add onion and capsicum. Sauté for 5 minutes. Push vegetables to the side, add lamb, and cook for 5 minutes until lamb is cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and squeeze half a lemon over the dish.

Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix in coriander, chickpeas, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, stirring well to combine. Garnish with reserved coriander sprigs.
