    1 In a large bowl, add beef mince, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, cumin and paprika. Mix to combine and shape into 10 cigar-shaped koftas.

    2 To a large pot, add couscous and 500ml water. Bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked and liquid is absorbed. Set aside.

    3 Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Cook koftas for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.­

    4 In a small bowl, mix yoghurt, lemon juice and zest. Add snow peas, rocket and spring onion to cooled couscous. Serve koftas with couscous and lemon yoghurt on the side.­
