Inspiration needed - what can I add to make couscous more interesting?

[schnapps]

I need simple, cheap things to take to work for lunch. I like couscous, which is definitely simple, but what can I add to make it more interesting, other than sweetcorn and cheese?

red or yellow peppers, mange tout, pine nuts, cashew nits, sultanas or raisins, pineappe chinks, apple, beetroot, avocado, chicken....

Chopped spring onion, cherry tomatoes, yellow pepper and cucumber. Add a tiny drop of olive oil and some fresh mint too if you've got it. And salt and pepper. Yum!

chopped dried apricots, chopped fresh corriander, big squeeze of lemon, flaked almonds, chick peas. yum.

I make it with vegetables like courgettes, onion, carrots, mushrooms and peppers. Stir-fry or roast them first, with herbs if you like, or sometimes I add cumin. Mix into freshly cooked cous cous with some olive oil and salt & pepper. Great cold for lunch, and a big batch lasts a couple of days, you can have it as a salad with fish or chicken.

tescos do a nice cous-cous seasoning, I like the mint and chilli and the lemon and herb ones best.

My favourite couscous salad:
Make couscous with a little stock instead of water.
Add finely chopped carrots, celery, cucumber, peppers tomatoes and feta cheese and mix with a vigiagrette (I do oil and lemon juice with whatever herbs and spices I have on hand and a little bit of sugar)
Sometimes I put herbs like basil or coriander in it too.
But mix it up, put whatever veg you have in the fridge. Cooked brocolli, grilled veg, sweet potato....mmmm time for dinner!!

Yumm, some great ideas here. Thanks

Stir in a little pesto

I had thought of squirrel, not sure where to buy it from though, any ideas cod?

chuck it in the bin and order a curry??

A curry is definitely the better option and it's certainly simple if it's a take-away. Notice I need something 'cheap' though, and healthy would be a bonus
