1/3 cup firmly-packed raisins

Bring stock to the boil in a saucepan over high heat. Place couscous in a large, heatproof bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of oil, raisins and stock. Cover and stand for 3 to 4 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir with a fork to separate grains.

Step 4
Meanwhile, add cucumber, mint, parsley, pine nuts, chickpeas and egg to couscous. Thinly slice beef. Add to couscous mixture. Toss to combine. Spoon onto plates. Drizzle with dressing. Serve.
