Anybody have any good recipes for couscous ? It's getting a bit boring with just hot water and mint and chilli seasoning.

red peppers, apricots, saltanas, nuts, honey, mushrooms, make it with a cube of bovril or chicken stock..
not sure if your a vegetarian?
so omit the meat stocks..

I had some last night which was lovely with peppers etc in. Had it with Moroccan lamb tagine with apricots and veg. It was soooo filling though I could only manage a quarter of it!

I just usually make mine up with either a Chcken or Vegi Stock cube and chuck in some fried( in Frylight) Mushrooms, Red Onions, Peppers and Pea's.. Mmmm lovely and have it with Grilled Chicken or Steamed Fish etc...

Cous cous also makes a nice crunchy covering - use just like bread crumbs on chicken/fish etc

It's so easy and quick and low in fat isn't it.

Julie....do you soak the couscous first and then use it to coat the food ? I suppose you could season it first and then put it on the chicken or fish. I never thought of doing that because I associate "breaded" fish with calories.

I don't I just dip in egg then coat with the cous cous. Seasoning it should work well I tend to like quite bland foods so don't do it myself.

Deffo will try that. I do like seasoned food though. Must be because my Mum and Grandma always used alot of garlic in their cooking.
