What is Couscous?
Couscous is the go-to grain in many Middle Eastern homes. It's just so versatile and convenient; perfect for the whole family. We often enjoy couscous at home as a side to tagines or as part of a light, fresh salad. Simply delicious.

To make the couscous, simply pour it into a bowl and stir through some boiling water. Cover and leave it for 5 minutes then drizzle over some olive oil and fluff it up with a fork. For an extra lift, stir through a squeeze of lemon juice.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
