Cooking steps

Cook the Couscous
1
  • Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Prep the Veg
2
  • Trim the root tip and green stalks of the fennel. Halve lengthways and thinly slice. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
  • Zest the orange. Juice half and cut the rest into small pieces.
  • Pick the mint leaves and roughly chop.
  • Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. 
  • Once hot, add the chickpeas, Middle Eastern spice mix and fennel. Fry until fennel is softened, 8-10 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove once cooked.
Time to Fry
3
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Season the beef with salt and pepper. 
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the beef until browned, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Toss the drained couscous with half the mint leaves, half the orange zest and fried fennel. 
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper, and orange juice. 
  • Thinly slice the beef widthways then divide between bowls along with the couscous. Serve topped with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce.
  • Finish with a crumbling of Greek style cheese and garnish with remaining orange zest and mint.
