SPICY LAMB WITH GARLIC COUSCOUS



Spicy Lamb With Garlic Couscous image

A spicy Moroccan style dish. As the couscous has minimal cooking time the garlic flavour is quite strong, reduce the amount of garlic in the couscous or use some roasted garlic paste if you aren't keen on very garlicky food. This recipe came from the Home Beautiful magazine. The marinade also works well with chicken fillets.

MOROCCAN LAMB WITH COUSCOUS



Moroccan Lamb With Couscous image

This is a really simple recipe to make it can be on the table in 30 Min's not including the marinating time. The marinade is easy to make and something you can do the night before or before work and it is ready to go when you walk through the door. I love couscous and I think it pairs very well with this dish. I use quick cooking couscous which comes in sachets of 100g each to serve 1-2 people depending on whether making as is or serving as an accompaniment like I did. The brand I buy only takes 2 Min's to cook and you place the sachet in boiling water, so when you get to the part where you add stock and hot mango chutney to the water, please note that this is just to flavour couscous and not to be mixed with it.
