This couscous salad with fennel and tuna is perfect for lunch at the weekend. It’s very simple but the flavours all come together brilliantly. Do buy top quality tuna in oil – we used our local Shines Wild Irish Tuna in Olive Oil. Wine Suggestion: not having a Sicilian wine to hand we still kept it […]

Posted in Food, Side dish, Vegetarian, tagged Cooking, Coriander, Courgettes, Couscous, Dill, Food, Herbs, Mint, Recipe, side dish, Vegetarian on 20 June 2020| Leave a Comment »
It’s courgettes with everything in our house this week, not that we’re complaining! We had this couscous as a side for a barbecue and the leftovers were great for lunches. Also a good recipe for using up any herbs you have, you don’t have to stick to combination suggested, one or two would be fine. […]

Posted in Food, Side dish, Vegetarian, tagged Black garlic, Cooking, Courgettes, Couscous, Easy, Feasts, Food, Peppers, Preserved lemons, Recipe, Sabrina Ghayour, side dish, Vegetarian on 9 October 2018| Leave a Comment »
Black garlic is a revelation and we’ll definitely use it again after this dish – sweet and mellow with lots of flavour but none of the harshness associated with white garlic. This is a great crowd pleaser by Sabrina Ghayour with lots of fresh flavours and bright colours. We served with spicy roast salmon but […]
Merguez with Couscous
Posted in Chicken, Food, tagged Cooking, Courgettes, Couscous, Food, French, Harissa, Maghreb, Merguez sausages, Peppers, Recipe, Saffron on 17 September 2018| Leave a Comment »
A dish of Merguez sausages and couscous from Marseilles. Like a Pot au Feu with flavours of the Maghreb. So delicious! Wine Suggestion: French meets the Mediterranean, meets the Middle East – the Massaya le Colombier is a Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Tempranillo blend. Made in stainless steel to preserve the fruit we love to chill […]
Couscous and Mograbiah with Oven-dried Tomatoes
Posted in Food, Side dish, Vegetarian, tagged Cooking, Couscous, Food, Labneh, Mograbiah, Ottolenghi, Recipe, Salad, side dish on 3 September 2018| Leave a Comment »
Mograbiah is a large variety of couscous that we were unable to find for this recipe but Italian fregola worked well. We also started this too late to make our own labneh but a soft goat’s cheese log rolled in dried mint and black pepper made a good substitute. We hope the guys at Ottolenghi […]

Warm Couscous Salad with Halloumi, Courgette, Chickpeas and Tomatoes
Posted in Food, Vegetarian, tagged Chickpeas, Cooking, Courgettes, Couscous, Easy, Food, Halloumi cheese, Recipe, Salad, Tomatoes, Wine Match, Wine suggestion on 24 July 2017| 3 Comments »
Really summery, colourful, and quick to throw together. Wine Suggestion: the vibrancy of flavours demanded an equally vivacious wine; we chose the Kilikanoon Morts’ Block Riesling from the Clare Valley in Australia. It was dry and driven by a limey, textured presence that sang alongside this dish. Warm Couscous Salad with Halloumi, Courgette, Chickpeas & Tomatoes […]

Posted in Food, Lamb, Roast, tagged Cooking, Couscous, Food, Harissa, Lamb, Lamb shoulder, Mint, Pomegranate, Pomegranate Molasses, Recipe, Roast, Roast lamb, Slow cooked lamb on 24 February 2017| 2 Comments »
This makes such a lovely weekend dish and looks really attractive served on a large platter in the middle of the table. It requires a few hours in the oven but is hardly any work at all and uses just a few ingredients. Wine Suggestion: this dish cries out for a Moorish influenced wine and nothing quite achieves […]
Tomato & Feta Couscous Salad
Posted in Food, Side dish, Vegetarian, tagged Basil, Cherry Tomatoes, Cooking, Couscous, Food, Recipe, Salad, side dish, Sun-dried tomatoes on 12 September 2016| Leave a Comment »
We cooked this dish while camping in France and it was a great side dish for all sorts of barbecued meat. It’s also a great idea for using up leftover sun-dried tomatoes which can easily get forgotten in the back of our fridge. Tomato & Feta Couscous Salad – serves 4 200g couscous 250g piece of feta cheese 2 tbsp […]

Quick Lunchbox Couscous

We’re always looking for easy things to take to work for lunch. This can be made with almost anything you have left in the fridge but we make it most often when we’ve only used half a pack of feta cheese for another recipe. The more herbs you add the better so its great for […]

MoroccanTurkey Meatballs with Citrus Couscous
Posted in Healthy, Uncategorized, tagged Cooking, Food, Healthy, Morrocan, Recipe, Turkey on 22 July 2011| 2 Comments »
A dish that is super-healthy and easy to cook makes this a great weeknight dinner and lunch (if you make too much the night before). It’s a tiny bit dry on it’s own even with the juicy orange in the couscous so we recommend you serve some Tzatziki on the side – even though that’s […]
