Recipe - Warm Cous-Cous Salad With Marinated Vegetables

225 ml Hot vegetable stock; (in
pan)
125 g Bulghar wheat
1 Courgette
1 Red pepper
1 lg Field mushrooms
2 Marinated artichoke quarters
3 tablespoon Olive oil
1 Lime
1 pn Caster sugar
1 Garlic clove
1 small Bunch fresh parsley and mint
100 g Feta cheese
1 Salad onion
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Harissa paste
Juice 1 lime
1 tablespoon Olive oil

1 Add the couscous to the pan of hot stock, turn off the heat and set
aside for the grains to absorb the liquid. Preheat the griddle pan.

2 Slice the courgette, red pepper and field mushroom and brush with a
little oil. Season and cook the the peppers in a griddle pan for two
minutes or so on each side until tender and charred.

3 Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for a further two minutes. Place
the remaining olive oil in a large bowl and squeeze in the lime juice. Stir
in the caster sugar, salt and pepper.

4 Crush in the garlic. Finely chop the mint and parsley (leaving a few
sprigs aside for the garnish) and stir into the dressing.

5 As the vegetables are cooked, add them to the bowl of dressing with the
artichokes and griddle the remainder. Finely dice the feta and thinly slice
the salad onions.

6 Stir into the couscous and check the seasoning. Spoon onto two serving
plates and arrange the vegetables on top.

7 Mix the harissa paste with the lime juice and olive oil and dizzle over
the vegetables. Garnish with herbs and serve warm.

8 For the Bulghar Wheat and Chargrilled Chicken Salad variation: Replace
the couscous with bulghur wheat and cook in the same way in 300ml/ 1/2
pint stock.

9 Chargrill two chicken breasts for five minutes each side, until tender
and cooked through.

10 Stir the feta and salad onions into the couscous and spoon onto serving
plates. Place the chicken on top and finish the dish as before.
