This meal was met with a warm reception by the boyfriend :) It has a little exotic feel to it and can serves as filling but healthy lunch or dinner alternative:
Stick the beef squares on a wooden skewer combining one piece of beef with one apricot at time, sprinkle with salt, pepper and dried rosemary and fry slowly on a frying pan with a bit of olive oil until done.
Place couscous in a bowl and pour over boiling water. Allow some extra water so that the couscous has enough liquid to rise. Cover with a lid and wait a few minutes until couscous swells up. Mix with salt, pepper, finely chopped mint leaves and about a tablespoon of olive oil. Add boiled green peas and stir.
Serve all on a bed of fresh spinach leaves and alternatively accompany also with green beans.
Bon Appetit!
