Description
A simple and delicious couscous dish infused with the freshness of mint.
Ingredients
Scale
- 320g Couscous
- 400 ml Boiling vegetable stock (14 fl oz (UK))
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh finely chopped mint
Instructions
- Put the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the stock.
- Cover (I use a dinner plate, sitting on top of the bowl) and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, remove the cover or plate. The liquid should be absorbed.
- Use a fork to gently fluff the couscous to separate the grains.
- Drizzle over the olive oil, plenty of salt and pepper and the mint if using. Mix through with the fork.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding lemon juice or zest.
- This dish can be served warm or cold as a salad.
