Method
Frikkadels in Turmeric Sauce
Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender until a paste forms.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over moderate heat and fry the frikkadels for 5 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric paste and swirl the pan to coat the frikkadels.
Pour in the cream and allow to simmer for 5 more minutes.
Couscous
Add couscous, salt, stock powder and olive oil into a large mixing bowl and mix well until couscous is completely coated.
Pour in the boiling water and cover with a plate or cling wrap.
Once the couscous absorbs all the water, use a fork to fluff the grains before serving.
Serve
Serve the saucy frikkadels alongside the couscous with a handful of baby spinach and fresh basil.
