Pearl cous cous salad with preserved lemon and almonds

Back to Home

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

This dish is a flavourful salad with bouncy pearls of giant cous cous as a backdrop and currants, preserved lemon, and flaked almonds as highlights. We've adapted this Ottolenghi recipe so that it works in the freezer - you'll just need to add a handful of herbs or leaves (e.g coriander, parsley, spring onions, baby spinach) to complete it as a salad. It works just as well as a warm side dish without the herbs. 

INGREDIENTS

Cous cous, dressing [olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt], preserved lemons [lemon zest, salt, lemon juice, bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, cloves], currants, almonds, red chilli.

PLEASE NOTE:
While we make every effort to ensure dishes are free of cross-contamination, our kitchen is not allergen free.
