Also known as ptitim, you almost wouldn't know that pearl couscous is actually a type of grain-shaped pasta! Inspired by Middle Eastern flavours with harissa, lemon and charred courgette, this warming couscous is finished with chorizo for a smoky kick of flavour.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Boil the Couscous
1

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the pearl couscous.

Add the pearl couscous, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender with a slight bite, 14-15 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a sieve, pop back in the pan with a drizzle of oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Get Frying
2

Meanwhile, trim the courgette, then cut into roughly 1cm pieces.

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the courgette and chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 5-6 mins.

Finish Prepping
3

While the chorizo fries, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.

Cut the lemon into wedges.

Almost There
4

In a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar with a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of oil.

Season with salt and pepper and mix in the tomato chunks.

Add the Flavour
5

Stir the harissa paste and garlic into the chorizo and fry for a further min.

Stir in the cooked couscous and a good squeeze of lemon juice and toss together.

Add the baby leaves to the tomatoes and toss together. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Serve
6

Share the harissa and chorizo couscous between your serving bowls.

Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese.

Serve the tombato and baby leaf salad alongside.
