Upute za pripremu
- 1.In a medium bowl, combine the ground lamb, half of the chopped onion, half of the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, half the parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 10-12 small meatballs.
- 2.Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- 3.While the meatballs are cooking, use a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment to grate the zucchini and carrots. Squeeze the grated zucchini gently to remove excess water.
- 4.In the same pan, add the remaining 15ml of olive oil. Sauté the remaining onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- 5.Add the grated zucchini and carrot to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are just tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
- 6.Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, the remaining fresh parsley, and all the fresh mint. Season the vegetable 'couscous' with salt and pepper to taste.
- 7.To serve, divide the zucchini-carrot 'couscous' between two plates and top with the warm lamb meatballs.
