1. Place a heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Add the onion, cumin, cinnamon, chilli flakes and lamb and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes, carrots, swede, and turnip and bring to the boil. Season well, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 50-60 minutes, stirring often or until the meat is tender. Stir in the green beans and cook for a further 15 minutes or until tender.

3. Meanwhile place the couscous in a wide, heatproof bowl and pour over boiling hot water to cover the grains. Cover and allow to stand for 12-15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff up the grains with a fork and stir in the orange juice, mint and chopped preserved lemons, if using.

4. Garnish the lamb with chopped coriander before serving with the couscous.
