Cooking Steps

Place a pan over medium heat (no oil).
Once hot, dry-fry the almonds, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Return the pan to a high heat (without oil).
When the pan is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

NOTE: Swapping to pork mince? Follow the recipe as written, replacing 'beef' with 'pork' where necessary.

Meanwhile, trim the courgette then slice into 1cm thick rounds.
Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).

Once the beef has browned, add the cumin, paprika and Middle Eastern spice.
Stir and cook for 1 min more.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, honey and 150ml water (per 2P).
Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper.
Allow to simmer until thickened, 15-20 mins.

TIP: Add a splash more water if it becomes too dry.

While the stew simmers, boil your kettle (or a pot of water if you haven't got one).
Add the couscous to a medium bowl with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml) into the bowl along with the stock.
Stir together, cover and leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

Place a separate pan over high heat (without oil).
When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins. Turn only every few mins—this will allow it to pick up a nice colour.
Once cooked, transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
