Calories: 568 Preparation: 10 mins Cooking: 10-15 mins Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 675g (1½)lb lamb neck fillet, trimmed

• 2 tbsp harissa paste (see cook's tip)

• 1 each red, green and yellow pepper, cored and deseeded

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 225g (8oz) couscous

• Zest and juice 1 orange

• 1 (85g) bag watercress, roughly chopped

To serve:

• Watercress and wedges of orange

Method

Thickly slice the lamb and place in a bowl with the harissa paste and 1 tsp of the olive oil, toss well until the lamb is coated. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Soak 6 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

Place the couscous in a large bowl, add the orange zest and juice, oil and 450ml (¾)pt of boiling water from the kettle. Season, then stir in the watercress. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave to soak for 15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff up the grains with a fork.

Cut the pepper into wedges and toss in the remaining oil. Thread the pepper and marinated lamb onto the soaked skewers. Cook the kebabs over hot barbecue coals or under a hot grill for 10-15minutes, turning occasionally until chargrilled on the outside, but still slightly pink on the inside. Serve the kebabs with the couscous and wedges of orange if liked.
