Moroccan lamb and pitta bread with cous cous


This was what I cooked over the weekend for some friends. I like food like
this as you just put it all out and help your self  so you can still drink and chat.
The best thing about this is it looks awesome but so easy to do.

All you need is lamb leg or shoulder and marinate for 1 to 2 days before
for the marinade is:

tbl spoon ground cummin
tbl spoon ground corriander
tbl spoon ground ginger
tbl spoon ground caraway
tbl spoon mint sauce

tbl spoon tomato puree
tbl spoon garlic puree
Just mix and rub on

For the roast veg you will need

1 courgette
1 aubergine
1 pack of cherry tomatoes
1 green and red pepper
Wash and cut all the vegetables
in to big dice pieces

For the cous cous
1 pack of cous cous
1 tin chick peas
3 red onion sliced 
1 chicken stock cube

To serve on the side
pitta bread, humous, sour cream and
some slice ice berg lettuce

So 1st you get a big frying pan good and hot
to seal the lamb. Then turn your oven on 120
cook the lamb in the oven till it's about 64
degrees whilst the lamb is cooking dice your
veg up and put your chick peas in a pot with
their juice and some water with the stock cube.
 Bring to the boil put a frying pan on with
some oil and butter in and caramelise your 
sliced red onion place your cous cous in to a
deep tray pour the stock in to it just to cover the
cous cous and strain the chick peas if needed
and mix in to the cous cous. Clingfilm it
up for 10 mins then open up and mix in
your caramelised onion. when your lamb
is ready take out of the roasting tray and place
to one side to rest covering it in tinfoil.
Mix the diced veg in the juices in the
tray put in the oven and your oven on
max for 10 to 15 mins when done make
a hole in the middle of the veg, slice the
lamb and place there and serve with the
cous cous and on the side serve your
pitta bread, humous, sour cream and
some slice ice berg lettuce.
