Method
1.
Place the couscous in a bowl with the vegetables. Add a stock cub to the boiling water and mix it until it dissolves. Pour the stock over the couscous and cover the bowl with a plate and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes (until all the stock water has been absorbed).
2.
Once the couscous is ready, fluff it up using a fork (this process parts the individual grains) .
3.
Next, drizzle over a little olive oil and some black pepper and give it a good stir making sure everything is evenly mixed.
4.
Serve straight away or keep refrigerated for a couple of days. This is a perfect carbohydrate side to accompany chicken nuggets, sausages or a stew.
Pro tip:

Add some cooked meat or cheese such as halloumi to make it a complete meal.
