Couscous with Lamb and Vegetables

This dish is an emblem of Mediterranean and Maghrebi cuisine, combining the tenderness of lamb with the aroma of spices and the freshness of vegetables. It is a complete, balanced recipe that is perfect for sharing. To season the stew and couscous professionally, we will use Bonsalt , which enhances the nuances of the spices without adding sodium.

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

1. Searing the meat: In a large pot with olive oil, brown the lamb pieces, previously seasoned with Bonsalt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

2. Vegetable base: In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion. Add the carrots, turnip, and zucchini cut into large, elongated pieces. Cook for a few minutes.

3. Stewing: Add the lamb back in and add the spices. Cover with water (approx. 1 liter) and cook over medium heat for 45-50 minutes until the meat is tender. Ten minutes before the end, add the cooked chickpeas.

4. Couscous preparation: Put the couscous in a bowl with a pinch of Bonsalt and a teaspoon of oil. Pour in the same amount of hot broth from the stew as couscous. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

5. Separating the grains: After the time is up, add a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil and stir with a fork to separate the couscous grains.

6. Plating: Serve a base of couscous on a large platter, place the meat and vegetables in the center, and generously spoon over the stew broth.
