Method

1. Combine the cumin and salt on a plate. Roll the lamb in the cumin mixture to lightly coat. Heat oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.
2. Meanwhile, combine the beans, water and couscous in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, for 2-3 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the beans are bright green and tender crisp. Remove from heat. Use a fork to separate the grains.
3. Spoon couscous among serving plates. Top with lamb and capsicum and sprinkle with parsley leaves. Serve immediately.
