Rose Harissa Kebabs with Chickpea & Pepper Couscous

Using aromatic rose harissa brings a punch of north African spice to these easy kebabs and the flavours work perfectly with our Moroccan Medley Couscous salad. Perfect for a summer BBQ.

Method

Put the diced lamb, oil, rose harissa, cumin, garlic and seasoning in a large bowl. Squeeze over a little orange juice and toss well to combine. Cover and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes (or chill to marinate for longer if you have the time).

Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue to a medium-high heat. Alternate the lamb and courgette slices onto skewers.

Cook the kebabs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.

Meanwhile prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains and leave to cool slightly. Toss through the chickpeas, coriander and chopped roast peppers. Squeeze over a little orange juice and drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

Serve the kebabs with the couscous salad, some harissa yoghurt and wedges of orange for squeezing.
