This dish was a pleasant surprise. Easy to prepare, it is tasty, zingy and healthy. I can definately recommend it as a summer meal.
Fantastic dish! So easy to make and so full of flavour! Goes really well with 2 or 3 hot chillies chopped up and added to the couscous if you like a bit more spice!
Will be making this dish time and time again!
Cook it, taste it, love it!!!
