chopped roasted cougettes, aubergine, red onion and cherry tomatoes. then crumble in some feta.

bibbitybobbityhat · 10/04/2010 15:49

Roasted red and orange peppers, courgettes, cherry tomatoes, garlic (whole), red onion.
Then when its all cooled down add chick peas (half a tin), generous squirt of lemon juice, loads of chopped coriander, drizzle of olive oil but if you really won't allow olive oil then a sprinkle of soy sauce.

cyb · 10/04/2010 15:52

nuts are nutricious and proteinous

I cook this quite often, and eat the leftovers cold with salad the next day. So you could by-pass the eating it hot and just have it cold.

janeite · 10/04/2010 17:51

I do similar to Bibbity - mushrooms, red onions, peppers, garlic - fried in a bit of olive oil or roasted. Stir into hot cous cous with stock, then add herbs, chickpeas, pine nuts, feta. I like it hot but it would be fine cold too.

moondog · 10/04/2010 18:02

I do it like a tabbouleh-lots and lots of chopped flat leaf parsley, tomatoes, skinned deseeded cukes and onions, lemon and oil.

Otherwise, any leftover meats or salad veg folded in or steamed veg dressed in vinaigrette.

blowbroth · 10/04/2010 18:04

Definately fresh coriander and lemon juice at the end. Olive oil if you can. Delicious.

moondog · 10/04/2010 18:05

Forgot to mention the mint for tabbouleh-essential.

Do a brik a l'oeuf with it.Cuple of sheets of phyllo pastry laid out flat in hot frying pan with bit of oil-crack in an egg, then some tuna then some capers. Fold over and it is ready to eat a few minutes later.

Had a similar thing last night-Sri Lankan rice hopper (thin pancake) with egg and spring onions and chilli-folded over.

ilovemydogandmrobama · 10/04/2010 18:22

Second the tabbouleh.

I tend to just chuck in whatever herbs I have around (except rosemary) with olive oil, lemon juice, and chick peas, or any other (cooked) beans.

bibbitybobbityhat · 10/04/2010 18:33

I thought tabbouleh (sp?) was made with bulgar wheat?

ilovemydogandmrobama · 10/04/2010 18:37

It is. Moondog says: 'like a tabbouleh'
