Ingredients

200g couscous

2tbsp olive oil

400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Juice 1 lemon

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2tsp ground cumin

100g Greek-style cheese, crumbled

100g raisins or sultanas

100g dried apricots, chopped

50g Asda Roasted & Salted Mixed Nuts, chopped

10g fresh mint, chopped

Method

Put the couscous into a bowl and cover with boiling water (about 300ml). 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.
