Ingredients
1 x 100g sachet of Ainsley Harriott Moroccan Medley Cous Cous
350g (12oz) lean minced beef
4 spring onions (finely chopped)
10ml (2 tsp) garam masala
½ tsp ground cumin
120ml (8 tbsp) thick Greek yoghurt
5cm (2in) piece of cucumber (grated and with excess water squeezed out)
1 ripe tomato (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step 1
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Mix together the minced beef, spring onions, garam masala, cumin and 30ml (2 tbsp) of the Greek yoghurt. Season to taste.
Step 3
Roll into 6 pieces, each about 7.5cm/3 inches long. Push each one on to a 15cm/6inch bamboo skewer which have been soaked in water.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the Ainsley Harriott Moroccan Medley Cous Cous according to the instructions on the sachet and keep warm.
Step 5
To make the raita, mix the remaining Greek yoghurt in a bowl with the cucumber, tomato, garlic and seasoning.
Step 6
Pre-heat the grill to its hottest setting. Cook the beef koftas for 10-12 minutes on the grill rack, turning occasionally until nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 7
Divide the Ainsley Harriott Moroccan Medley Cous Cous between two plates and arrange the beef koftas on top. Drizzle over the raita before serving.
