Ingredients

175g couscous
100g dried ready-to-eat apricots, chopped,
2 tablespoons harissa paste
Handful chopped fresh mint leaves
4 lamb rump steaks
150g natural yogurt

Method

Put the couscous and apricots into a large bowl. Stir the harissa paste into 225ml boiling water, pour over the couscous and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff up the grains with a fork, stir in two thirds of the mint leaves and season well.
Meanwhile, season the lamb steaks and fry in a hot, dry pan for 2-3 minutes each side, for pink, longer if you prefer them more well-cooked. Set aside for 5 minutes, then thickly slice.
Stir the remaining mint leaves into the natural yogurt and season.
Divide the couscous, lamb and mint yogurt between plates. Serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
