Ingredients

75g couscous

1tbsp olive oil

210g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Juice ½ lemon

½ small red onion, finely chopped

1tsp ground cumin

50g Greek-style cheese, crumbled

50g raisins or sultanas

50g dried apricots, chopped

20g Asda Roasted & Salted Mixed Nuts, chopped

2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves chopped

Method

Put the couscous into a bowl and cover with boiling water (about 125ml). It should come about 1cm over the top of the grains. Cover with a plate or clingfilm and leave for 10 mins until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Fluff the couscous with a fork, then add the remaining ingredients (except the mint), mixing well. Season with black pepper. Serve scattered with the chopped mint.
