RECIPE: LAMB TABOULI

LAMB TABOULI

INGREDIENTS:

• Olive Oil (just a dash)
• 500g Lamb Mince
• 1 Red Onion finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Cous Cous
• 1 Chicken Stock Cube
• 1 cup Boiling Water from Kettle
• 2 Cloves Crushed Garlic / or 2 tsp Garlic Paste
• 2 tsp Allspice
• 1 tsp Ground Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds
• 2 tbs Lemon Juice
• 1 cup Flat Leaf Parsley finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Mint finely chopped

To Serve

• Baby Spinach Leaves
• Flatbread or wraps
• Hummus
• Tatziki

METHOD:

1. heat oil in a pan med-high heat add onion and cook, stirring until soft (about 5 mins). Add the lamb and cook breaking it up until browned ( about 5 mins). Meanwhile combine Cous Cous with the stock and boiled water in a bowl just covering the Cous Cous with the water allowing it to soak it up

2. Add Garlic, Allspice, Cumin, Cinnamon and Fennel Seeds and cook, stirring for about 30 seconds or until mixture is fragrant. Remove from the heat.

3. Fluff through the Cous Cous with a fork ensuring it has soaked up the liquid and then add it to the mince mixture, along with the mint, parsley and lemon juice. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients.

To serve we like to have the mince mixture in a big bowl on the table along with the Spinach, bread and dips and we help ourselves to make our own plates up. This serves our family of 2 adults and 2 children quite well and there is usually some mince leftover, this would feed 4 adults easy and is a great easy dinner party option!
