Saltbush lamb roast on Israeli couscous

I bought some Israeli couscous from Victoria Market a few weeks ago and never got round to making any till last week. I had a complete disaster. There wasn't anything wrong with the couscous. It is easy to cook but it was the not so fresh ingredients that I bought. After a big night out last Friday, we ended up nursing ourselves on the couch on Saturday day and thus missed out on farmers market and all those fresh lovely ingredients. I bought some calamari, mangoes and avocado next day at Footscray to make a nice light salad with the couscous and it flopped. It failed because the calamari was not fresh, the mango and avocado was at their near end of life. It just shows how fresh and good ingredients plays such an important role in how a plate of food taste and make me feel! I could not finish my dinner. It was really bad.
