Title: Thrill-of-the-grill couscous
Cook: Annie "Get Your Gun" Phillips
Serves: 4-6
Preparation Time: 25-30 minutes
Cooking Time: None!
Ingrediants
- 200 g Couscous
- 400 ml Vegetable Stock
- 250 g Cherry Tomatoes
- 175 g Chestnut Mushrooms
- 4-6 Spring onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3-4 tablespoons Green Pesto
- A handfull Toasted nuts
- A handfull Basil
Method:
- For the nuts you can use pinenuts, almonds or roughly chopped hazelnuts
- Put the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over the boiling stock. Cover with clingfilm and set aside for 5 minutes only, while you get the other bits ready
- Halve the tomatoes and finely chop the mushrooms and spring onions. After the couscous has soaked for 5 minutes, fork it through to break up any lumps.
- Stir in the oil and pesto to your taste. Next tip in the veg and nuts, then tear in the basil leaves. Taste and season if necessary
- The great thing about this is that you can keep it in the fridge and use it over a few days, and it actually improves in flavour over time
