AD | After a good rummage in my store cupboard and finding @merchantgourmet giant couscous, I decided to come up with this gorgeous salad, which I should say is good hot or cold. My advice would to make extra so that you can enjoy a portion cold the next day. Listed below are the ingredients that I used because I had them in my fridge, but please use what you have. Any kind in onion would work, as would lazy or frozen garlic. The peppers don’t have to be red and the aubergine can be swapped for courgettes or even diced butternut squash. If you don’t have Aleppo pepper, then chilli flakes, smoked paprika or finely chopped chilli will be gorgeous. Spinach can be replaced with any herbs you have growing in the garden or and handful of rocket and the couscous can be replaced with lentils, quinoa, rice or orzo. Basically the possibilities are endless. Let me know if you give it a go?
