  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander optional

  • 4 tablespoons flaked almonds
  • 3 stalks spring onions sliced

To Serve

  • 4 tablespoons greek yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon mint dried or fresh

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the slow cooker in the morning. Chop all vegetables for the stew as specified, and cut the beef into large 1 inch squares. Put the chopped onion, eggplant and zucchini in the slow cooker. 
  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium- high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Add to the slow cooker. 
  • In the same pan without cleaning it, fry the bacon until crispy and add to the slow cooker. 
  • Combine the remaining stew ingredients and pour over the meat and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook on low for 8 hours. 
  • When almost ready to serve, using a large frying pan or wok  melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and fry for 2 minutes until just starting to brown. 
  • Add the chicken stock, cumin and coriander and stir to combine. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes until the chicken stock is absorbed and the cauliflower is cooked to your liking. 
  • Stir through the flaked almonds and spring onions. 
  • Combine the greek yoghurt and mint, and serve the cooked stew over couscous with minted yoghurt on top.
