Method
Step 1
Stir 1 tbs stock powder from the soup kit into 1 1/2 cups (375ml) boiling water in a large heatproof bowl. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 5 mins or until the water is absorbed. Use a fork to separate the grains.
Step 2
Combine the mince and the remaining stock powder in a bowl. Roll 1 tbs portions of the mince mixture into balls. Cook meatballs in a greased frying pan over medium heat for 10 mins or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 3
Add the vegetables from the soup kit to the pan. Cook, stirring often, for 10-12 mins or until the vegetables are tender. Add to the couscous mixture with 2 tbs lemon juice and stir to combine. Serve couscous mixture with meatballs, tzatziki, lemon rind and lemon cheeks.
