Couscous Diet: The Best Couscous Recipes Online

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 500g lean lamb mince
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 large apple, grated
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 1 1/2 cups couscous
• 1 lemon, rind finely grated
• 60g marinated red capsicum, chopped
• 2/3 cup low-fat yoghurt, to serve

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Combine mince, egg, breadcrumbs, apple, oregano, half the parsley, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
3. Shape tablespoonfuls of mince mixture into balls. Arrange in a single layer on baking trays. Spray with oil. Bake for 20 minutes, swapping trays halfway through, or until meatballs are just cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, bring stock to the boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in couscous. Cover. Set aside for 5 minutes or until stock has been absorbed. Use a fork to separate grains. Stir through rind and remaining parsley. Serve meatballs with couscous, capsicum and yogurt.
