Instructions

Get Started
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.

Cook the Couscous
2

Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.

Put the couscous in a large bowl. Pour in the boiled water for the couscous (see pantry for amount), then cover tightly with cling film. Leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

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 olive 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.
