Moroccan-style grilled turkey steaks with mint and roast pine nut pesto

Method

 
1. Preheat the grill to high.

2. To make the pesto, place the pine nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until golden. Place the nuts in a food processor with the garlic, mint and butter. Blend to a smooth paste and set aside.

3. Season the turkey steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Grill the steaks on a hot grill pan under the preheated grill for about 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and tender.

4. Meanwhile, place the lemon juice in a saucepan with the fruit juice and vegetable sauce and cook over a medium heat until reduced by a quarter. Cook the couscous according to the packet instructions. Fold the couscous into the sauce and drizzle with olive oil or mix in a little of the pesto.

5. Top the turkey steaks with the pesto and serve with the couscous.
