Method
1. To make Lamb Koftas, mix together lamb mince, parsley, garlic, cumin and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Divide mixture into 8 balls. Form each ball around the pointed end of a skewer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Barbecue koftas over medium heat until browned all over and just cooked through – about 6 minutes.
4. To make Couscous Salad, place couscous in a bowl. Pour in boiling water or vegetable stock. Leave to stand for 5 minutes. Fluff grains with a fork and leave to cool.
2. Mix through almonds, apricots and chopped parsley. Season to taste.
Serve Koftas on couscous salad and pour over Eta Greek-style Yoghurt Dressing. Serve with a green salad.
