  • chicken or vegetable stock cube
  • dried mint
  • dried chilli flakes
  • ground cumin
  • ground cinnamon

  • cherry plum tomatoes chopped
  • cooked chicken diced
  • spring onions sliced

Instructions

  • Place the couscous in a bowl and crumble in the stock cube and herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Add the frozen peas and then pour enough boiling water to just cover the couscous mixture. Stir.
  • Place a lid on the bowl (or cover with clingwrap) and leave to steam for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the couscous and if all the liquid has been absorbed, fluff up with a fork and stir in the tomatoes, chicken and spring onions.
  • Serve warm or cold and add a squeeze of lemon juice if you wish.
