Cook cous cous

Cook beef
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan on high heat. Cook 600 g beef mince for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the lumps with a spoon. Add 1 tbsp Moroccan seasoning, 2 tsp honey, ¼ cup tomato paste and 1 cup beef stock. Cook for a further 3-4 mins, until fragrant and cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Make salad
- Peel and grate 1 carrot. Pick 1 bunch mint leaves. Toss the carrots and mint leaves with 2 cups mixed green salad and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt.
To finish
- Once the couscous is cooked add it to the beef mixture and gently stir to combine. In a small bowl combine ½ cup Greek yoghurt and 2 tsp honey.
To serve
- Divide the Moroccan beef couscous between plates, and top with beet hummus and honey yoghurt drizzle. Serve the salad on the side.
