Method
- Mix the mince with half the parsley, the garlic, ground coriander and cumin, then season generously. Roll into 12 sausage shapes, cover and chill. Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over boiling water to just cover (about 300ml), season generously and cover with cling film. Leave for 5-10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. When hot, cook the koftas, turning occasionally, for 6-7 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Remove to kitchen paper.
- Stir the harissa into the couscous, then add the remaining parsley and the coriander and check the seasoning. Serve the koftas on the couscous with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

This was quick, easy and I only had to buy the beef and coriander, as the rest I already had, making it a cheap recipe too!
