Spicy Lamb With Garlic Couscous image

A spicy Moroccan style dish. As the couscous has minimal cooking time the garlic flavour is quite strong, reduce the amount of garlic in the couscous or use some roasted garlic paste if you aren't keen on very garlicky food. This recipe came from the Home Beautiful magazine. The marinade also works well with chicken fillets.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of chili powder.

The spicy lamb was delicious, but the couscous was a bit dry. Next time, I'll add more liquid to the couscous.
