Directions

Cucumber Salad:

Add the cucumber, tomato, onion and herbs to a large bowl. Just before serving, add the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and salt and toss together with a pinch of chilli flakes.

Tahini Yoghurt:

Combine all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside to serve.

Pistachio & Date Moroccan couscous

Cook the pistachio & date Moroccan couscous according to packet instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside to serve.

Caramelised Onion Za’atar Lamb:

Combine the lamb mince, garlic, za’atar, salt and brown sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Add the onion and season lightly with salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until charred and tender.
Remove from the pan and set aside. Crumble the lamb mixture into the pan, leaving it in chunky pieces. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the underside is caramelising. Flip with a spatula and cook for a further 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Stir through cooked onion then drizzle over the pomegranate molasses and toss to coat the lamb.

To Serve:

Serve the pistachio and date couscous topped with the cucumber salad, lamb and tahini yoghurt.
