Spiced Pork Kebabs With Fruity Couscous And Tzatziki

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Boil half a kettle

Peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Chop your cherry tomatoes in half

Add your mince (remove the paper if required!), baharat and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a bowl and give everything a good mix up until fully combined (clean hands is the best way!)

Divide the mince mixture and roll into 2 sausage shapes per person – these are your spiced mince kebabs

Line a baking tray (or two!) with baking paper, then add the spiced mince kebabs to one side of the tray[s]

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and onion wedges to the other side and sprinkle over your dried oregano with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil

Give the veg a good mix up, then put the tray[s] in the oven for 18-20 min or until the kebabs are cooked through (no pink meat!) and the tomatoes have softened

(Doubled your protein? Do this in batches!)

Meanwhile, zest half your lemon[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic and strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems

Grate your cucumber

Dissolve your chicken stock mix in 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water

Add your couscous, sultanas and lemon zest to a heatproof bowl, with a generous pinch of salt and mix it all together

Add the chicken stock to the bowl, then cover with a tea towel and set aside

Add the chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), half the chopped mint (save the rest for later!) and grated cucumber to a separate bowl with your natural yoghurt and the juice of half the lemon[s] and stir it all together – this is your tzatziki

Cut the remaining lemon into 1 wedge per person

Once the veg is cooked, fluff up the couscous and stir through the roasted veg and remaining chopped mint – this is your fruity couscous
