How We Make It
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.

The couscous is great hot or cold and we used it with the honey mustard chicken and potato bake as well as with the meatballs to make small portions enough for two hungry adults!
The lemon sauce and almonds make it extra special!

Was yummy as a dish or as a side. Put some tuna with it for one meal, and had with salad for another.
