The combination of lamb tenderloin with couscous, spices and yogurt results in an explosion of flavors and textures . This piece of lamb is a cut that is made just above the leg of the animal and is usually cooked whole on the grill, and then cut at the time of serving.

Since it is already a fatty meat in itself, I recommend that you always grill or grill the lamb with as little oil or cooking fat as possible. You will see that it is a very tasty meat, and the dish with the couscous and the spices will give it a special touch that will surprise anyone who tries it.

As for what type of grill to use, I recommend doing it on an iron one . It is ideal to put the fire at maximum power without worrying about damaging any non-stick, but without a doubt the best virtue is that it is the best way to enjoy all the flavor of the meat, because when it reaches a high temperature it seals the meat at the moment and retains so all its flavor.
