Serves 4
What you need
- 1 Vegetable Oxo Cube
- 200ml hot water
- 200g couscous
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- small can chopped tomatoes
- feta cheese, cut into small chunks
- jar of red peppers, finely chopped
- 10 olives any colour, chopped roughly
- small jar artichokes in oil, roughly chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- fresh basil
- non-stick frying pan
How to make it
- Crumble an Oxo Vegetable Cube into a jug, add 200ml of boiling water and mix well.
- Place the couscous into a shallow bowl, then pour over the hot Oxo stock then cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 5 minutes until the couscous has swelled up and absorbed all of the water. Ruffle with a fork to separate the grains.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic then fry gently for 5 minutes.
- Add the turmeric and paprika and continue to cook for a minute then add the can of chopped tomatoes and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir the tomato mixture through the couscous along with the feta cheese, red peppers, olives and artichokes.
- Season the couscous with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Hints and tips
- You can buy ready flavoured couscous and simply add the stock and the vegetables.
- Try using garlic paste instead of using fresh garlic for quickness.
