Red Pepper, Lemon and Mint Couscous image

This was included as part of a salmon recipe on www.channel4.com. Much as I love salmon, I didn't care for this particular recipe. However, I did love the couscous! This is very good served with chicken. To save preparation time, use the roasted red peppers that come in a jar.
