Instructions
  1. Preheat a bbq to medium high heat. In a large bowl combine beef, garlic, 2 tbsp of parsley, spices, breadcrumbs and eggs. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly with your hands. Divide the mixture evenly into 8 balls.
  2. Place a meat ball onto the end of a skewer and gently mould it into a flat sausage shape down the skewer, packing it tightly with your hand. This should be about 10 cm long, 4 cm wide and 2 cm thick. Repeat with remaining meat. Rub a little olive oil onto each meat skewer and cook on the bbq for about 4 mins per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the bbq to a plate and rest for 3 mins.
  3. While the meat is cooking, make the cous cous: Combine the stock and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cous cous. Cover the pan tightly and stand for 5 mins, or until the liquid is absorbed and the cous cous is tender. Fluff with a fork and mix in the olive oil and 1 tbsp of parsley. Season with pepper to taste, cover and keep warm.
  4. Mix the yoghurt in a small bowl with lemon rind and juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the cous cous evenly onto the centre of 4 serving places. Place 2 skewers next to each mound of cous cous and top with a dollop of the lemon yogurt sauce, serve immediately.
