For the couscous:

  • Cook couscous according the the package. Drizzle with a little olive oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook, shaking the pan occasionally until browned all over. Then cover with a lid and turn heat down a little to allow the meatballs to fully cook through. Check them after a few minutes.
