Cooking Steps
1
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the beef mince.
- Break up the beef with a wooden spoon as it browns and cook for 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
2
- Trim the courgette then slice into rounds about 1cm thick.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
3
- Once the beef has browned, add the ground cumin, paprika and garlic. Stir and cook for 1 min more.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and 150ml water (double for 4p), then stir in the beef stock.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Leave the stew to simmer until thickened, 15-20 mins.
4
- Meanwhile, boil your kettle (or a pot of water if you haven't got one).
- Put the couscous in a medium bowl. Add a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour 240ml boiling water (double for 4p) into the bowl.
- Stir together, cover and leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
5
- Place another pan on high heat (no oil).
- Add the courgette and leave to cook until charred, 4-5 mins each side.
- Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
6
- Try the stew and season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Spoon over the beef stew and top with charred courgette.
- Crumble the Greek style cheese over the stew.
