Ingredients
- Cumin: 1 tbsp ground cumin
- Turmeric: 2 tsp ground turmeric
- Cashew: 50g unsalted cashews, toasted under the grill
- Onion: 2 medium onions, roughly chopped
- Vegetable Stock: 600ml vegetable stock
- Couscous: 280g couscous
- Mint: 4 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- Lemon: grated zest of 2 lemons
- Cinnamon: 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Sunflower Oil: 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- Apricot: 100g ready-to-eat dried apricots, quartered
- Quorn: 350g pack Quorn mince
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan, add the onions and cook gently for 5 minutes until they soften. Stir in the Quorn and spices (unlike meat and poultry, Quorn doesn't need to be browned), then add the apricots and stock. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cook gently for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make up the couscous following the packet instructions - it will take about 450ml boiling water to give it a nice fluffy texture. Fork through the lemon zest and mint. Season to taste.
- Spoon the couscous onto serving plates, pile the Quorn mixture on top and scatter with the cashews.
