This is an easy dish as I just bought some prepared mixed vegetables from the supermarket and put them in the oven. Couscous is easy to make too. I love couscous and Zaatar together it tastes so exotic and the flavours are so layered. This is just a yummy dish packed full of flavours. Ingredients…

Chickpeas, Couscous and Spinach
Meatless Monday today. As we are more informed these days about meat I try to have at least one vegetarian and fish meal a week (doesn’t always happen) but I’ve managed it today. Chickpeas are such a good staple and thankfully nice and filling a great alternative to potatoes. They also carry on flavours so…
Slow Roasted Lamb Stuffed with Dates, Apricots and Rosemary served with Red Wine Gravy and Couscous
Slow cooked roasts are my favourite way of cooking. There was a boneless rolled joint on offer in the supermarket so I couldn’t resist it. I usually have joints on the bone so this gave me the opportunity to stuff it. It was so yummy and came out perfectly, I didn’t think roast potatoes would…
Smoked Salmon on a Pea and Preserved Lemon Couscous Salad with Crispy Capers
So Autumn is here and the last season summer vegetables are coming to an end. I have already bought a squash for next week but also bought the last bag of summer peas. I think as we have had such a warm summer we have managed to have a late harvest. I really wanted the…
Crispy Saganaki on a Bed of Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Couscous Recipe
Happy new year everyone, I hope you had a great festive season. So I’m at that stage where I fancy food that isn’t too rich. Couscous is always a nice light lunch and saganaki isn’t a rich cheese either it’s the greek version of halloumi. I like to roast vegetables like peppers and the sweet…
Pomegranate Poussin on a Roasted Vegetable and Preserved Lemon Couscous with a Cumin and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
I’m loving pomegranate molasses at the moment and it works so well as a marinade. It adds a sweet tangy flavour and makes the skin go lovely and crispy with loads of flavour. I ate the legs with my hands and the caramelised outside and chilli was so tasty and the meat was so juicy…
Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with a Parmesan Crumb Recipe
I have wanted to try baked tomatoes for ages. I did stuffed peppers a while back and they turned out good. As the summer is starting to wind down I really wanted to have a go. In my local grocers they had some large tomatoes in stock, perfect I thought. The chorizo works so well…
Chicken, Summer Squash, Tomato and Couscous One Pot Recipe (5:2 Diet 283 kcal)
It seems to keep dinners under 300 calories it tends to be chicken, fish or tomatoes. I love all 3 of those so it isnt too much of an issure for me. I found this recipe on bbcgoodfood, it isn’t the prettiest dish but it definitely is a tasty dish. It is a great way…
Red Mullet on a Red Pepper, Tomato, Olive and Basil Stew Recipe
This dinner is healthy, simple but really tasty. I think red mullet is an under rated fish, it’s funny because I don’t like the grey variety as they taste a bit muddy. To keep it on our 5:2 diet we served the fish with a stew and alongside whole wheat couscous. The flavours are really…
Watercress Salad with Spiced Tuna and Chickpea Couscous and Sorrel Tomatoes Recipe
This salad started out as tuna and chickpea fishcakes but my mixture didn’t bind enough so I tasted some and it was really yummy and the texture of the chickpeas tasted like couscous. I think tomatoes will probably feature a lot in my blog as they are so delicious this time of year. This salad…

Sun Dried Tomato Couscous with Mushroom’s, Kale and Saganaki Recipe
I didn’t even know saganaki existed until I was buying some halloumi and saw it next to it so I thought I would give it a try for a change. It was really yummy it isn’t as firm or squeaky as halloumi. It holds it shape so well and it has a springy centre. I…
Spiced Roasted Cauiflower Couscous Recipe
I have wanted to try this recipe for ages and Paulie made some garam masala so Ithought I would add it to this to this recipe and tasted so good. I didn’t realse cauliflower could change its texture and flavour as much as this and it worked so well. It is certainly cheaper and healthier…
Halloumi on Roasted Leek Couscous with a Harissa Dressing Recipe
I love experimenting with new flavours and ingredients from around the world. We had some leeks left over in the fridge so I thought they would be nice roasted and added to a salad. We didn’t have any salad leaves so I raided the cupboard and found cous cous, dried cranberries and flaked almond’s so…
Giant Couscous, Chickpea and Chorizo Salad with an Orange and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
I fancied a change from salad leaves and wanted to use up some store cupboard ingredients, so this salad was born.
