Ingredients (for 4 people) :
Giant
Couscous
- 1 cup
Cucumber
- 1 medium
Mint
- 6 stalks
Feta
- 100g, cubed
Mandarin
olive oil
- a few decent glugs
Salt and black
pepper
to taste
Method:
1. Drizzle a glug of mandarin
olive oil
in a pan and lightly fry the
couscous
for 2-3 minutes on a medium heat. When golden brown, add a cup of cold water to the pan and stir continuous.
2. Once all the water has been absorbed, keep on adding more until the
couscous
is tender throughout. This should take about 15 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
3. Cut the ends off the
cucumber
and halve lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a
dessert
spoon. Peel the skin off the one half, or if you’re a bit fussy with your
cucumber
skin, peel both. Halve the pieces lengthways again cut the cumber into rough 1/4 inch pieces. Also cube the
feta
in a similar size.
4. Remove the
mint
leaves from the stalks and tear them into small pieces - this releases more flavour. Add the
mint
,
feta
and
cucumber
to the
couscous
. Add a few decent glugs of Mandarin
olive
oil, season with salt and
pepper
, mix through and serve chilled.
