Simpler (much less stiring!) and cheaper than using risotto rice I’ll definitely be making this a regular one 😍
Ingredients (served 3 adults and two toddlers):
Onion, medium sized and diced (I used frozen)
Rapeseed (vegetable) oil, 1-2 tsp
Garlic, 1 clove finely chopped
Giant couscous, 150g
Low salt stock, 750ml to 1 litre
Courgette, 1 medium, finely chopped
Carrot, 1 large or two medium, finely chopped
Mushrooms, 150g (about half a typical punnet), finely diced
Peas, two large handfuls
Ham (optional), about 100g chopped into small chunks
Feta, crumbled or Parmesan, finely grated, about 100g
Method:
Gently soften the onion in the oil. After a few minutes add the garlic. Once the onion is a little translucent add the rest of the ingredients (about 750ml stock, reserving the rest) and gently simmer. Stir regularly. As the liquid reduces you may need to add the additional stock.
Serve in a big bowl and eat with a soup spoon. Yummy!
You can easily swap the veggies that you add depending on what you have in. Chop up small so that a similar texture and hey presto.
