    Cover the couscous with boiling water, cover and leave for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Fry the lamb mince and courgette in a splash of oil over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes, breaking up the mince.

  3. 3

    Stir in the harissa and cumin, and cook for 1 minute more.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Serve the spiced lamb over the couscous, scattered with coriander.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander, 350 g lamb mince and ½ courgette. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
