I recently made a cous cous dish for the first time, always had in my head I hated it but it was delicious. I made it with pesto, halloumi and courgettes.

Anyone have any tasty recipes they could share, there's thousands on Google so don't even know where to begin.

OP posts:

Thanks

It's lovely with roast veg and a harissa dressing.

I also like it as a cold salad with oil and lemon as the dressing and feta, mint, cucumber, olives.

Thanks

Morrocan chickpea couscous salad. I will attach pic of recipe but I’m afraid I’ve no idea where I got it from! Printed it off from some website. It’s delicious and I do it often.

Thanks

I do it with toasted pine nuts, dates, zest and juice of a lemon, a glug of olive oil and then chopped mint scattered through just before serving.

The Ottolenghi giant cous cous here is amazing and works with ordinary cous cous too. amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/16/yotam-ottolenghi-picnic-recipes

We mix it with tomato purée and veg stock (make it sloppier than usual) and then stuff it in pre boiled red peppers (boil for 5 mins just to soften) and then roast them in the oven with cheese on top. Lovely!
