I have been making different versions of this recipe for over 20 years. It's always been a favourite of ours and is a standby dinner party dish, as it's so easy to make!
In the last couple of years, I've added Ras el hanout to the couscous, which adds a lovely injection of spice and heat. Combine this with soft juicy peppers, roasted haloumi and pine nuts and it's a tasty combination reminiscent of north African cuisine.
