    If I want it to have that hint of North Africa, I sprinkle some cumin, coriander and cinnamon into the couscous.

    couscous with lemon in it is lovely with chicken but even better with fish mmmmmmmm!

    absolutely adore red peppers stuffed with couscous and under the grill for a couple of minutes - works with those really large mushrooms as well. Couple of slices of mozarella goes great on top as well.

    I make a simple lunch using hot water and a bit of veggy stock powder. I add pine nuts for protein and bbq veggies as my 5 a day.

    My couscous never seems to go fluffy and dry when I make it - am I using too much liquid? I have tried Nigella's 1 " above the couscous method before - still a bit soggy.
