I do love Moroccan tagines and when I have them I like to serve them with this herbed couscous. I try to soak the couscous grains in a stock appropriate to the main ingredient, chicken stock for chicken, lamb stock for lamb, etc. Failing that stock made from the good organic Swiss vegetable stock powder works. (This is one of the very few acceptable uses of dehydrated stock thingies.)
(The smaller fresh herb bags in Waitrose are, I think, 20g.)
Planning
| serves: | 4 |
| preparation time: | 60 mins |
| cooking time: | n/a |
Ingredients
- 250g couscous
- 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 500 ml hot stock (as appropriate)
- 20g fresh parsely, leaves picked
- 20g fresh coriander, leaves picked
- 20g fresh mint, leaves picked
Method
Stir the olive oil into the couscous in a suitable glass bowl to coat the grains.
Add the hot stock and stir before leaving the couscous to soak and absorb the liquid. Leave it to cool down.
When cool, chop together all the herb leaves and stir them into the couscous.
