- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried mint leaves
- 2 lb lamb leg steaks, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 7 oz Israeli couscous

- Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins, or until reduced slightly.
