Preparation

Cooking
- Put the couscous into a bowl, finely grate over the lemon zest, just cover with boiling kettle water, cover, and put aside.
- Finely chop the apricots and pistachios and put into another bowl with the lamb, ras el hanout and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork, add one third to the lamb mix, then scrunch together with clean hands.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal-sized pieces, then shape into koftas with your fingertips, leaving dents in the surface to increase the gnarly bits as they cook.
- Place in the air-fryer drawer, spritz with olive oil and cook for 20 minutes at 180ºC, or until sizzling, shaking halfway.
- Meanwhile, peel and very finely slice the red onion, then scrunch with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and leave to quickly pickle.
- Finely chop the herb leaves and add to the remaining couscous with a good squeeze of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Drain and add the chickpeas, toss well, season to perfection and divide between plates.
- Sit the kofta on top, then ripple the harissa through the yoghurt and spoon on the side.
- Sprinkle over the pickled red onions, and serve with lemon wedges.
