How to Make Fragrant Moroccan Spiced Mince With Couscous
- Combine 2 tablespoons of the spice mix (from recipe #63885 or your own blend) with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
- Toast 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 1/4 cup pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove and set aside on paper towels to cool.
- In a large skillet or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the spice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 inch of minced ginger. Cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 lb ground lamb or beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
- Stir in 1 medium carrot, chopped, and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup shredded cabbage, a little at a time, until it wilts.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color).
- Stir in 1/2 cup raisins.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup couscous with 1 1/4 cups boiling water and 1/4 cup orange juice. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Taste the mince and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Add more spices if desired.
- Stir in the toasted nuts and the prepared couscous and raisins.
