Couscous and Grilled Veggie Salad
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 red peppers
- 6 stalks asparagus, trimmed
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 bunch spring onion, sliced
- 2 red chilies, deseeded and sliced
- 3 cups fresh herbs, chopped (choose from basil, coriander, mint, parsley, oregano)
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 10 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- Mix couscous and water together, and let sit for 30 mins or until all the water is absorbed and couscous is tender but firm.
- Blacken the peppers, either over a gas flame or in the oven, under the grill.
- Once they're blackened on all sides, cover in saran wrap and leave to"sweat" for 5 minutes before removing their skins and slicing into chunks.
- In a frying pan, lightly cook the asparagus and zucchini.
- Mix vegetables with couscous, spring onions, chillies, herbs, olive oil and lemon dressing.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
