Couscous salad

There's some nice recipes in tesco website. I found this lovely one in there.


Ingredients:
  • 250g couscous

  • 1 vegetable stock cube

  • 250ml boiling water

  • 280g jar of roasted red pepper antipasti

  • 150g Tesco Greek feta cubes with extra virgin olive oil and herbs, drained

  • 200g tub of Crespo green olives with chilli and parsley

  • juice of half a lemon

  • pinch of dried crushed chillies

  • chopped flat leaf parsley, to garnish


  • Preparation:
    Tip the couscous into a large heatproof bowl. Crumble the stock cube into 300ml boiling water and stir to dissolve.
    Pour the stock over the couscous then cover the bowl with cling film. Leave for 10 minutes for the couscous to absorb the stock.
    Drain the pepper antipasti and reserve 3 tablespoons of the oil. Break the couscous up with a fork to separate the grains, then stir in the peppers along with the 3 tablespoons of reserved oil, the feta cubes, lemon juice, olives and a pinch of crushed chillies.
    Season with pepper, then taste and add salt if needed. Scatter some chopped parsley over the salad and serve.
