Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks.

Pop the ciabatta onto a medium baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well. 

Bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside.

2

Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.

Pour the boiled water (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the giant couscous, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender with a slight bite, 8 mins. Drain in a sieve.

3

While the couscous cooks, trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the courgette and chorizo and stir-fry until the veg has browned on the outside and softened, 8-10 mins.

Season with salt and pepper.

4

While the courgette cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the lemon into wedges. Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.

In a large bowl, combine the juice from the lemon, honey and oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for now.

Stir the smoked paprika and garlic into the courgette pan and fry for a further min.

5

Once everything's ready, add the tomato, courgette, chorizo and giant couscous to the large bowl with the dressing and toss together.

Add the croutons and rocket leaves and toss again.

6

Share the warm giant couscous salad between your serving bowls and drizzle over the yoghurt.

Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
