[Kimbles20]

Hi,

Any ideas on what I can put into plain cous cous for a nice healthy lunch?

<PRE>i ususally put spring onions, peppers, mushrooms and a splash of soy sauce.you can add lots of things to it. I make it quite a lot </PRE>

you could make it mediterranean by adding tomatoes and peppers...maybe some feta cheese.....squeezing some lemon juice into it also really nice

Grilled Halloumi cheese (you can buy it in Tesco's/Sainsbury's) with roasted red and yellow peppers and slices of red onion - serve it with a dip made with plain yoghurt and mint - yum!

I usually put in mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes even some pesto sauce and anything else to hand. A hard boiled egg chopped up as well. Its lovely stuffed inside a pitta bread with a side salad.

I boil a red pepper and stuff it with cous couse - delicious.

It can also be a base instead of using pasta or rice for meals - try seasoning it with some of the above ideas and have with fresh steamed fish and nice crunch y side of veg.

Good cold too, so if you are making some to eat hot, make extra and have the rest later as a salad.

A friend of mine does a great couscous salad, where the couscous is not boiled, but left in lemon juice.

It's really nice just mixed with salad - cucumber, tomatoes, spring onion etc. This is best with the flavoured cous cous e.g lemon and coriander - yum!

take the cous cous, boil it up, season it and throw it in the bin.

lol sorry cant stand the stuff :-)
