Summer couscous salad is a Lunchbox recipe for 4 people, takes only 40 mins; recipe has couscous, vegetable stock and chickpea.

Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove - 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Olive Oil - 1-2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
  • Vegetable Stock - 250ml vegetable stock, boiling
  • Tomato - 300g small vine-ripened tomatoes, halved
  • Couscous - 250g couscous
  • Chickpea - 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Courgette - 300g courgette, sliced on the slant
  • Halloumi Cheese - 250g pack halloumi cheese, thickly sliced and then halved lengthways
  • Lime Juice - 3 tbsp lime juice
  • Mint - 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • Sugar - 1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Tip the couscous into a bowl, pour the boiling stock over and mix well with a fork. Cover with a plate and leave for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, tip all the dressing ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, stir in the chickpeas and follow with half the dressing. Mix well and pile on to a large serving dish.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the courgette slices over a high heat for 2-3 minutes until dark golden brown. Lift out on to kitchen paper. Now put the tomatoes cut-side down into the pan, and cook for another couple of minutes until tinged brown on the underside. Top the couscous with the courgettes and then the tomatoes.
  3. If the pan is dry, pour in a little more oil and heat it up, then add the halloumi strips and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning them over from time to time, until crisp and sizzled brown. Pile on top of the tomatoes, and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve as soon as possible.
