Free Healthy Recipe - Seasoned Couscous

Dairy free

Delicious served with kebabs.

Ingredients
½ cup almond slivers, roasted
1 piece preserved lemon, cut in thin slivers (approx 4cm pces)
½ lime rind, finely sliced
1 cup parsley, coriander, mint leaves, freshly chopped
1 red chilli finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups couscous
2 cups water, boiling
Method

Dry roast the almonds and the lime rind in a frying pan until the almonds turn golden in colour. Set them aside in a small bowl then in the same pan dry roast the couscous in batches until you smell a lovely aromatic flavour and the grain darkens in colour.

Saute the garlic and chilli in one tablespoon of olive oil and once cooked return the grain to the pan and stir.
Remove from the heat and add two cups of boiling water and stir. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Using a fork separate the grains and add the preserved lemon, parsley, almonds, lime rind and sesame seeds.

Serve on a platter - with kebabs on top.
