Spinach Couscous image

This couscous can be served warm or cold and is excellent with poached salmon. I often serve it as part of a buffet. This serves eight but as part of a buffet, 12-15 portions.

Steps:

  • Boil water, add couscous and set aside to soak for three minutes (or follow package directions). Add olive oil and season with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter, add finely chopped garlic, shallots or red onion and sweat until translucent. Do not let them brown because this will spoil the flavour of the dish.
  • Defrost the spinach in the vegetable stock (cook off if too much liquid). Add crème fraîche and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine couscous and spinach. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper to taste and a little lemon juice . Strew chopped coriander or flat leaved parsley over the top.
