LAMB MEATBALLS WITH ROCKETSLAW COUSCOUS AND LEMON GARLIC YOGHURT

RECIPE: @CHELSEASHINEFOODCREATIVE
Directions
  1. Cook the pearl couscous as per the instruction on the pack and set aside.
  2. Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. With lightly oiled hands, roll into roughly 20 meatballs and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
  3. Preheat your oven grill to 200°C. Grill the meatballs on the top rack for 8–12 minutes, turning halfway, until browned and cooked through.
  4. While the meatballs are grilling, mix the yoghurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  5. Toss the cooled couscous through the LeaderBrand Rocketslaw mix along with the included Creamy Lemon Mayonnaise sachet until well combined.
  6. To serve, spread the lemon garlic yoghurt across the base of each plate. Divide the meatballs between the plates followed by the Rocketslaw couscous. Scatter over fresh herbs to garnish and finish with a wedge of lemon.
