smurf get a bag of couscous and keep it handy as it's quick and easy to make and you can add whatever you like. It's much better and more economical than the packet stuff or the ready-made ones. For a generous helping for 2, or smaller helpings for 3 or 4, put 125g couscous in a large shallow bowl, and pour 200ml hot water over it, ensuring all the grains are covered. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel (tuck the edges of the towel under the bowl to keep it snug and taut).
Before this, put a few good-quality tomatoes (preferably from a market) in the oven with a little olive oil and season well, to roast for about 15 mins. Also roast a red pepper, or just char it on the stove and rub the skin off after it's cooled a little, then chop it. Meanwhile, finely slice spring onions and chop a ripe avocado. The couscous should be ready after about 10mins - break it up with a fork, then mix in all the veg, mushing the roasted tomatoes in. Make a dressing of veg or rapeseed oil, lemon or lime juice, one small finely chopped garlic clove (ideally made into a paste with a little salt), a finely sliced small red chilli or some dried chilli flakes, and some sugar or honey. Add to each individual serving. Sprinkle with chopped coriander or/and parsley.
You can have it as is, or with a salad, or frankly with whatever and however you like. We often have it as an accompaniment to grilled salmon fillets. It'd go beautfully with some lamb roasted with oregano and rosemary. If you've leftover lamb or other meat you can chop and mix that in. Mix in whatever you feel like!
