Pepper and Paprika Couscous
I really suck at thinking up interesting lunch ideas. Sandwiches, cold pasta or chilli goes in my lunchbox every day, and it gets really dull. This is part of my attempt to start making interesting things to have at work — although it tastes pretty fantastic scoffed straight from the pan. Not that I’ve done that. Ahem.
Ingredients (makes enough for two)
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 100g couscous
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1 chopped garlic clove
- Salt & pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salad
- 100g feta
- Cut the peppers into quarters and grill them for 5 minutes on each side, until the skin is blackened. Then wrap them in foil and leave them for five minutes to cool slightly.
- Put 100g of couscous in a bowl and add the garlic clove, a tablespoon of the paprika and some seasoning. Pour over 300ml of boiling water and stir. Then leave for five minutes to cook. When it’s ready, add Worcestershire Sauce to taste.
- Unwrap the peppers and scrape off the black bits. Slice into strips, and add these to the couscous. Crumble over the feta cheese, and serve with a handful of salad leaves.
