Couscous is quick and easy to make. This recipe uses carrots, raisins and orange juice to add extra flavour but you could add in a handful of your favourite cooked vegetables such as peas, sweetcorn, courgette or pepper.
Measure 200ml boiling water into the measuring jug, crumble in the stock cube and stir to dissolve.
Put the couscous in a bowl, add the stock and cover, leaving it to soak and steam. (It will say on the packet how long to soak it for.)
Wash, top and tail, then grate the carrots.
Once all the water has been absorbed add the grated carrot and raisins to the couscous. Stir well.
Halve the orange and squeeze out the juice. Stir the orange juice into the couscous.
Cover the bowl with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour.
When you are ready the serve the couscous, stir in a handful of chopped fresh coriander.
