    Herby Couscous Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 300 g dry couscous
    • 2 teaspoon bouillon powder
    • 2 handfulls of chopped flat leaf parsley

    Instructions

    1. Take 300g of dry couscous and add boiling water until the water just covers the couscous. Stir in 2 teaspoon of bouillon powder and cover with cling film until the water is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
    2. When the couscous is ready, fluff up with a fork and mix two handfuls of chopped flat leaf parsley into it.

    This is seriously yummy and great for the whole family. It's perfect for summer BBQs or as a side to many meals. Adding the bouillon powder and herbs really brightens the flavour and make it much more interesting than bland plain couscous.
