Quick, Tasty & Handy

Fresh and Fragrant Couscous

Boil the kettle and put 2 mugs of couscous in a heat proof bowl
Pour boiling water over the couscous, enough to cover and absorb all the water and a dash of olive oil
The couscous is ready in 10 minutes
Leave to cool

Chop up all the following into weeny small bits:

One third of a cucumber
Large handful of fresh mint leaves
3 spring onions
One sweet red pepper

Then make up some nice French Dressing:

Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar, smidge of garlic, dijon mustard

Mix the cooled couscous with the veggies and the dressing (to taste)

Then stick in the fridge and each whenever you fancy

It's lovely served with interesting salad leaves and smoked mackerel and also makes a great packed lunch

Enjoy. Hx
