We tend to use it to replace rice or pasta, so nothing too exciting. It is lighter than rice or pasta so it makes a nice change.

Last night we roasted pumpkin, onion, garlic, red cap, zucchini and tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and stirred through the cooked cous cous. Yum.

We add halved cherry tomatoes, avocado cubes, sliced spring onions and some italian dressing to the couscous and have it as a side to some grilled lamb. Its currently DH's favourite dish.

I love cous cous, it's great for quick lunches or dinners. Our favourites are:

*Warm beef salald - Mix in some Mediterranean seasoning when you add the water, then when ready add cucumber, red onion, tomoto, and some cooked beef strips (we use sizzle steaks because they cook super quick)

*Quick tuna salad - prepare cous cous then stir in a small can of flavoured tuna (we love lemon pepper) and whatever diced salad stuff you have on hand

*Another tuna one - mix in plain tuna to the cooked cous cous, add sliced boiled egg, some green beans (we cook them in the microwave to make it super quick), cherry tomoatoes and baby spinach or rocket.

You can add whatever seasoning you like, we just add a sprinkle of our preferred flavours when we're adding the water to the cous cous.
