Stuck on an easy dinner idea? Couscous is the answer!
We adore couscous. It's so easy to cook, it's versatile and can withstand so many different flavours. We particularly love to serve it as a big salad with all our favourite additions like grilled halloumi, chopped soft herbs and beetroot, but it's incredibly delicious served in our tandoori lamb recipe where the couscous is mixed through the lamb juices at the end - we're drooling just thinking about it!
