Curtis Stone's Moroccan Lamb Skewers with Couscous is a flavorful dish inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Morocco. This recipe combines succulent lamb mince with aromatic spices and is served alongside fluffy couscous and a refreshing Greek yogurt sauce, making it a complete and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, divide the lamb mixture into small portions (approximately the size of a golf ball) and shape them onto skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the lamb skewers and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. If using a grill, preheat it and cook the skewers for the same amount of time.
- While the lamb is cooking, bring 1 cup (240ml) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the couscous.
- Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked couscous and chopped spinach. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and mix well.
- Serve the lamb skewers over the couscous and spinach mixture.
- Spoon the lemon yogurt sauce over the lamb skewers.
- Enjoy your Moroccan Lamb Skewers with Couscous!
Tips:
- Ensure the lamb mince is chilled before mixing; this helps in maintaining the shape of the skewers.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the garlic for a more even distribution of flavor.
- Rest the couscous covered for about 5 minutes after adding the hot water to allow it to steam properly and become fluffy.
- When grilling the lamb skewers, turn them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and get a nice char on all sides.
- Season the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and some extra lemon juice to give it an extra zing.
