The perfect I’m feeling lazy recipe.
-
Heat 1 Tbsp rapeseed oil in the cocotte over a medium heat.
-
Gently fry 1 red onion (sliced into half moons) for several minutes then add 3 cloves garlic (peeled and finely chopped) and fry for a couple of minutes more.
-
When the onions and garlic are softened, stir in 600 ml tomato juice, 1 cube vegetable stock and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and bring to a simmer.
-
Add 200 ml hot water and return to a simmer. Add 300 g couscous and stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
-
Turn off the heat and replace the cocotte lid. Leave the couscous to soak up the liquid for up to 15 minutes.
-
Fluff the grains with a fork before serving. Scatter over almonds (toasted flaked), thyme and cherry tomatoes (chopped) to serve.
