How To Make Low Protein Moroccan Cous Cous

1. Measure out the cous cous and place into a suitable jug/ or bowl.
2. Pour in the half pint of boiling water and cover with a plate or cling film. Ideally a plate so the steam can still escape, if not pierce a small hole in the top of the cling film. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
3. In oil gently stir fry the red onion and red pepper until they begin to soften.
4. Remove the lid from the jug and use a fork to fluff up the cous cous, add a spoonful of butter, just to loosen the mixture slightly.
5. Add the cous cous to the pan and allow the vegetables to infuse with the cous cous. Keep breaking the cous cous down with a spoon as you are cooking the products together.
6. Add garlic purée and Moroccan spice and continue to mix in.
7. Slightly add more boiling water to separate the mix just before serving, and cook until all the water has reduced/ evaporated.
8. Garnish with coriander leaf and season with salt and pepper.
