Method

  1. Heat the grill. In a large bowl, mix the harissa with the oil, then tip in the lamb, peppers and onions. Add some salt and pepper and toss everything together to coat well.
  2. Thread the lamb, peppers and onions evenly onto 8 skewers and place on a baking tray. Scrape over any leftover marinade.
  3. Grill for 8-10 mins, turning frequently and basting with any of the juices that run off. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous following pack instructions. Divide the couscous between 4 plates, top with a couple of skewers each and drizzle over any pan juices.

    This is really nice. I didn't bother with the skewers, just shoved the lamb, onion and peppers on a baking tray and grilled them. I added a sprinkling on morrocan spice mix to the cous cous and a few chopped dried apricots and served the whole lot with 0% fat yoghurt with a spoonfull of Harissa and some chopped fresh mint stirred in. It was great!!

    Also marinate the lamb, pepper and onions in the morning before you go to work and then cook it when you come home.

    Marinated the lamb the night before. I also did a veggie version using halloumi cheese in place of the lamb. Did as stalbot did and put it on a baking tray and under the grill. Really good and very tasty. Also added chopped parsley and stirred in a spoonful of mint sauce into the couscous.

    This was a really tasty recipe that was very easy and I will definitely make it again - perfect for a quick meal and also impresses with flavour. I didn't marinate in the morning and it worked fine but I'm sure that would add to the flavour. I also used a harissa and rose rub instead of the paste which worked really well mixed with the oil. Baked on swewers as suggested which looked great on top of the cous-cous. Winner!
