    2 Prepare couscous as per packet instructions. Fluff with a fork, then cool for 10 minutes.

    3 Thread lamb, tomatoes and courgette alternately on prepared skewers. Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue on high. Spray skewers with oil. Grill skewers, turning, for 5-6 minutes or until lightly charred or cooked to your liking.

    4 Meanwhile, place cannellini beans, rocket and roasted capsicum in a large bowl. Add extra lemon juice and olive oil and toss to combine. Combine yoghurt and remaining dried mint in a small bowl. Serve lamb and courgette skewers with rocket salad and a drizzle of the yoghurt mint dressing.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use rice instead of couscous and check yoghurt is gluten free.

    Make leftovers into lunch! Remove meat and veges from skewers and add extra rocket leaves to make a hearty salad.
