Spiced meatballs with couscous


Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped mint, plus extra to serve
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 30g butter
  • 1½ cups (180g) frozen peas
  • 1½ cups (300g) instant couscous
  • Rice bran oil, to fry

Method

  1. Place mince in a bowl with onion, herbs, spices and egg. Mix thoroughly. With wet hands, shape mixture into small meatballs.
  2. Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water to boil in a saucepan. Add butter and peas and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in couscous and season to taste. Cover and set aside.
  3. In a heavy–based frying pan on high, heat enough oil to cover base of pan. Fry meatballs in batches for 8 minutes, rolling the pan to keep their shape, until browned and cooked through. Fluff couscous with a fork and serve with meatballs scattered with extra mint.
