Chermoula Double Beef Koftas & Spinach Rice

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic and onion, stirring, until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add basmati rice, the salt, lemon zest and the water. • Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• While the rice is cooking, in a large bowl, combine beef mince, chermoula spice blend, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll beef mixture into koftas about 8cm long and 2.5cm thick (3 per person).

• Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place koftas into a foil-lined air fryer basket and cook until cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Cook in batches if needed. • When koftas have 2 minutes remaining, remove basket from air fryer and brush koftas with the honey.

NO AIR FRYER? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook koftas, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Remove from heat, add the honey and toss to coat.

• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • To the rice, add baby spinach leaves and stir until wilted.
