Shawarma-Inspired Double Beef Meatballs
with Roasted Veggie Couscous and Feta Cheese
This deconstructed wrap is inspired by the classic Middle Eastern dish. With savoury beef meatballs, roasted veggies, couscous and salty feta cheese, it's equally as tasty and colourful as the iconic handheld.

Instructions
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add zucchini, peppers, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and half the Shawarma Spice Blend to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast veggies in the top of the oven until tender-crisp, 12-14 min.
- Meanwhile, line another baking sheet with foil.
- Add beef, breadcrumbs, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 meatballs for 4 ppl).
- Transfer meatballs to the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven, until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add couscous. Cook, stirring often, until couscous is slightly golden, 2-3 min.
- Add 2 cups (4 cups) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, still covered, until couscous is tender, 6-8 min.
- Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Add creamy dressing and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.)
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Drain and return couscous to the same pot, off heat.
- Add roasted veggies and parsley to the pot with couscous. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Divide roasted veggie couscous between bowls. Top with meatballs and sprinkle with feta.
- Drizzle creamy dressing over top.
If you've opted for double ground beef, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the regular portion of ground beef. Work in batches, if necessary.
