How to Make Spiced Lamb With Couscous
- **Prepare the Couscous:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of couscous and 1 1/4 cups of boiling vegetable or lamb stock.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand for 5 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- **Caramelize the Onions:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are well-browned and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).
- **Spice the Lamb:** In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Toss the 2 lamb fillets (about 8 ounces total) in the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- **Cook the Lamb:** Heat a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the spiced lamb fillets and cook to your desired doneness (about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
- **Combine and Serve:** Add the cooked couscous to the pan with the caramelized onions and gently toss to combine.
- Slice the cooked lamb and serve it on top of the couscous and onion mixture. Garnish with extra fresh thyme if desired.
