Ingredients

  • 175g Lamb Leg
  • 255g couscous
  • 80g spinach
  • 80g aubergine
  • 200g chopped tomatoes
  • 9g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 50g mozzarella
  • 10g olive oil
  • 8g parmesan

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and aubergine, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Cut the lamb into strips, season well and stir-fry or griddle over high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned but still juicy.

  4. 4

    Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and aubergine for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and lamb, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the mozzarella, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
