Method

Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil, add the couscous and simmer for about 5-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, rub the lamb with 2 tbsp olive oil and the spice blend, then season. Put a frying pan over a high heat, then fry the lamb for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set aside to rest.
Drain the couscous and tip into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Slice the lamb, then add to the bowl. Chop and add the almonds, crumble in the feta and toss in the watercress. Serve scattered with the pomegranate seeds.
