Easter Inspired Dinner

Lamb, Asparagus and Couscous. 
I did put my own twist on the Lamb.
Lamb

1 lb of Lamb Stew Pieces
1 Tsp of Ginger (if you are daring you can use fresh)
1 tsp of Onion Powder
1 tsp of Garlic Powder (or you can use fresh garlic)
6 Fresh Mint Leafs


Mix all of the above in a bowl and cover. Sit aside so the flavors absorb into the meat.

 
Asparagus
After taking an inch off of the the bottom of the clean Asparagus take 1/4 cup of Olive Oil or Veggie Oil and lightly coat the Asparagus.

Lay it on your foild baking sheet.

7 turns from a Sea Salt Grinder (if you do not have one then 1 tbps of salt)

Bake at 375* for 10 mins.
You can do this on the BBQ if you like them grilled.


Now that you have the asparagus prepared and in you can now start cooking the Lamb. 



Take 1/4 cup of Olive Oil or Vegie Oil. Preheat it in your frying pan.

Lightly dust your lamb with a handful of flour.

After the oil has started to sizzle, turn the heat down and cook the Lamb for about 20-25 mins. keep and eye on it so it does not burn, and keep turning it so it cooked evenly.





Couscous


2 cups Couscous
1 1/4 water
2 tps of butter

Bring the water to a boil then add the butter so it melts. Add the Couscous to the boiling water, cover then remove the pan from the heat. Let the couscous stand until the water has absorbed.

Then you can add your own seasonings to it.



This is a very easy meal that you can have any time of the year. It is something that can be tweaked to meet your needs and tastes. 
Start to finish approx 45mins.
 

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
