Serves: 6
1tsp each of cumin seeds, nigella seeds and fennel seeds
olive oil
150g giant couscous
300ml water
1 small squash cut into slices or buy pre-cut slices
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into circles/half moons
50g feta cubes
fresh mint, coriander – or whatever leafy herbs you have – finely chopped
30ml lemon juice (approx. one lemon)
20ml pomegranate molasses
30ml extra virgin olive oil
This goes so well with the tagine or stands alone as a delicious salad. You can make all the elements the day before and refrigerate. Then mix up on the day (you will need to break the couscous up a little) and warm through. This salad is delicious served warm or at room temperature but not fridge cold.
