Ingredients

  • 120g couscous
  • 180ml low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp unsalted pistachio nuts, shelled
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 red pepper , chopped
  • 1 large courgette, chopped
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

  • 6 medium cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Place the couscous in a small shallow bowl or saucepan. Pour over the hot stock, stir and then cover. Leave to sit for 5 minutes then separate with a fork.
  2. Heat a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the pistachio nuts and pine nuts and toast for 2 minutes until they start to colour. Don’t leave the pan and keep the nuts moving as they can burn easily. Once toasted, transfer to a plate and leave to cool.
  3. Place the cooked couscous in a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all of the other ingredients and combine well before serving.
