Ingredients

  • 200g couscous

How to make Moroccan Couscous Salad

  1. Cook the couscous: Place couscous in a bowl, pour over 250ml boiling water, cover, and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Add flavour: Stir in olive oil, lemon juice, and Shemin’s Ras El Hanout while the couscous is still warm.
  3. Add fresh ingredients: Mix in the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, parsley, and raisins/apricots if using.
  4. Season: Taste and add salt, pepper, and extra lemon juice if needed.
  5. Serve: Serve at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley or pomegranate seeds if you like.

Tips

Tips:

  • Toast the couscous in a dry pan before adding water for extra flavour.
  • Add salt to the boiling water for better seasoning.
  • Use fresh mint as well as parsley for freshness.
  • Add pomegranate seeds for colour and a sweet-tart bite.
  • Top with crumbled feta just before serving for creaminess.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and refresh with lemon before serving again.
