Steps

  1. 1

    Start by preparing the broth, since the couscous will be steamed over it. You’ll need a large pot and a steamer basket.

  2. 2

    Add the lamb and oil to the pot and brown the meat slightly.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, chopped into small pieces, and cook until it softens.

  4. 4

    Add salt, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, tomato paste, dried thyme, and turmeric. Stir everything together over the heat.

  5. 5

    Pour in about 2 cups (500 ml) of water.

  6. 6

    Cut the carrots and zucchini into sticks and add them to the broth.

  7. 7

    Steam the couscous over the broth three times, sprinkling it with water each time. Don’t forget to add salt to the couscous.

  8. 8

    During the final steaming, add the raisins to the steamer and mix them with the couscous.

  9. 9

    Toss the couscous with butter and serve it with the broth and lamb.
