Couscous is so versatile. It can be cooked savoury or sweet, both tasting delicious.
My couscous recipe is very easy to cook and tastes great. It is very healthy and very filling too.
This recipe is high in fibre and uses a combination of fresh vegetables and spices.
We ate this couscous recipe on its own tonight and it was very delicious.
It is a fantastic accompaniment to any lamb kebab recipe or chicken kebab recipe. It is also a great recipe to have readily cooked for a barbecue.
