كفتة لحم الغنم المتبلة بالبهارات ومقدمة مع الكسكس
Arabic 20 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Finely chop one onion and finely grate three garlic cloves. Thinly slice and remove the seeds from the chillies. Roughly chop 10g parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince with Baharat spice, eggs, breadcrumbs, half the salt and half the black peppercorns. Mix well and shape into 20 walnut-sized meatballs.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan and brown all of the meatballs stirring carefully. You may need to do this in batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Remove the meatballs and set aside.
- To make the sauce, finely slice another onion and grate the remaining garlic cloves.
- In the same pan, sauté these until softened. Add the tomatoes, water, tomato paste and remaining seasoning. Simmer over a low heat for 20-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the couscous. Combine the couscous and hot stock or water in a bowl. Cover with cling film and stand for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork.
- Dice the last onion.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 20cm-wide pan then add the onion and sauté until translucent and softened.
- Finely chop 10g parsley, coriander and preserved lemon. Add the herbs and 2 tbsp of preserved lemon to the couscous and season well.
- Wipe out the pan then heat the remaining olive oil over a medium heat. Add the couscous mixture and press firmly into the pan using the back of the spoon. Cover (even with a lid for a larger pot is fine) and leave for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, loosen the edges slightly with a knife, put a plate on top, then flip quickly to invert the couscous pancake onto a plate with the crispy side up.
- Serve warm while it is nice and crispy topped with the meatballs, sauce, yoghurt and torn parsley on the side.
