For a tasty Moroccan style cous cous just gently heat a crumbled Oxo vegetable cube, the zest of one lemon and a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Add a cup of cous cous and half a cup of boiling water, bring to the boil. To finish off add a handful of sultanas and leave to stand for 7 minutes before serving. Top with the stir-fried veg and enjoy.
