Couscous salad

Ingredients

  • 7 oz / 200 gr couscous
  • 1 medium head of broccoli
  • 1.8 oz / 50 gr feta chees for the dressing
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 2 small handful of sultanas
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 oz/ 30 gr fresh mint

Instructions

  • Place 100gr of couscous into a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and just cover with boiling water. Place a plate on the top and leave it to boil for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cut off the stalk off the broccoli head and place the whole broccoli head in a medium pan of boiling water and boil it over a medium-high heat for until bright green and tender – about 4 minutes. When it’s ready transfer it in a colander to steam-dry for a minute or two.
  • For the dressing
  • In a separate bowl peel and finely chop the garlic. Add the sultanas, walnuts, olive oil and squeeze in the juice from the oranges.
  • Pick the leaves from the fresh mint setting aside the smaller leaves for garnish. Finely chop the rest and add them to the bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper and mix it well.
  • Transfer the broccoli on a chopping board and cut it until fairly fine. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, add the broccoli and mix well. If serving immediately add the dressing too, or if you will serve later store the couscous mixture in a food container and the dressing separately.
