Method

  • step 1

    Measure the couscous into a large heatproof bowl, pour over the hot stock, then cover with cling film. Leave to stand for 5 mins or until the couscous has absorbed the stock and is soft. Add the egg and yogurt and mix well. Season, then fold through the cheese, tomatoes and spring onions.

  • step 2

    Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the fritters over a medium heat for 3 mins on each side until golden. Serve with a green salad and a spoonful of your favourite chutney.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING THE FRITTERS

Wet your hands before shaping the fritters to stop the mixture sticking to your hands. SunBlush tomatoes are softer than sundried. If you only have sundried, stir them into the couscous before adding the stock.

Extremely tasty. Made these in a ceramic pan so no oil was needed . This made it so much easier and healthier to cook. I also Added a few spices to the mix (1 tsp coriander and 1tsp fresh mint) and it worked a treat! I didn't have any sun blush tomatoes so I decided to serve cherry tomatoes on the…

These were so much nicer than I thought they would be (not that I thought they wouldn't be nice, just that they were incredible!) Followed the recipe to the letter apart from using normal sundried tomatoes. But as mine were from a jar and stored in oil, there was no need to change when I added them.…
