Couscous Lamb Pilaf recipe

The flavors of this savory, spiced pilaf become even stronger if left to refrigerate overnight.

1 teaspoon sea salt
½ pound cooked lamb roast, cubed
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup minced fresh mint
¼ cup currants
¼ cup chopped black or green olives
2 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup crumbled feta cheese, for serving

Delicious! So easy and healthy for a summer meal. I also marinaded the lamb (used diced lamb) in some Greek flavours for a few hours before hand. This included rosemary, garlic, olive oil and lemon. Lip smacking good and perfect with a beer!
