Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Moroccan beef koftas with fruity cous cous
- Put 8 wooden skewers into water and soak for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Meanwhile, put the steak mince in a large bowl along with 3 tablespoons of the tagine paste, the garlic and the breadcrumbs. Season well and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Divide the mixture in to 8 balls. Using your hands, work each ball into a sausage shape around each of the skewers. Chill the skewers in the fridge for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat the grill (or barbecue) to high. Place the skewers under the hot grill for 12-15 minutes and grill, rotating every 3-4 minutes until they are crispy on the outside and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, put the cous cous and the remaining tagine paste into a large bowl. Pour over the hot stock and stir briefly. Cover with clingfilm and set aside for 10 minutes until the stock has been absorbed.
- To serve, fluff up the cous cous grains with a fork and stir in the apricots, almonds and mint. Divide between serving plates along with the skewers, and a tablespoon of tzatziki on the side.
