When you want something quick and easy to make, this is perfect and uses ingredients you probably already have! A tantalising treat for two using a mix of couscous and vegetables with a tangy twist...
Ingredients:
265g Couscous
1 vegetable stock cube
3 different coloured peppers, sliced
150g frozen peas
4 soft stoneless prunes, chopped
6 soft dried apricots, chopped
[hd]Vegan Tip[/hd]
Use a 'Kallo' organic vegetable stock cube (Vegetarian Society Approved) to ensure the dish is suitable for a vegan diet.
method:
- Rinse the couscous and place in a heatproof dish with the stock cube, chopped apricots and prunes
- Cover the couscous with enough freshly boiled water, to about 1 cm above the couscous, stir round and leave it to absorb the liquid for 10 mins (or per packet instructions)
- Meanwhile, place the peppers and peas in a pan of boiling water for 5 mins (or until the couscous is ready) - you could add another half a stock cube here if desired
- Drain the vegetables, mix in with the couscous, serve and enjoy
