Couscous Salad with Pan-Fried Halloumi


By Pig Pig's Corner (Visit website)



Couscous is extremely versatile, easy to prepare and you can serve it with almost anything. When I was living alone on campus, I didn't bother cooking anything fancy for myself so I was basically living on couscous. I would cook couscous for dinner and pack the leftovers for lunch. I'd mix and match random ingredients like caned fish, corn, courgettes, bell peppers...anything that doesn't require cooking. Because of its ease of prep and versatility, I still make couscous very often but of course 'fancier' ones to please the wild boar. This combo is currently my favourite, the lemon goes really well with the salty halloumi and try to use fresh herbs, it makes a huge difference!
