Method

  • step 1

    Heat grill to high. Put the aubergine on a baking sheet, brush with oil and season. Grill for about 15 mins, turning and brushing with more oil halfway, until browned and softened.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, tip the couscous into a large bowl, pour over the stock, then cover and leave for 10 mins. Mix the tomatoes, mint, goat’s cheese and remaining oil together. Fluff the couscous up with a fork, then stir in the aubergines, tomato mixture and lemon juice.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT WITH CHICKEN

Omit the cheese, tomatoes and aubergines. Cut 2 chicken breasts into thick strips, toss in the oil, then grill for 8-10 mins until cooked through. Allow to cool. Mix into the couscous with flesh from 2 oranges, a chopped 250g pack beetroot and the mint.

Absolutely delicious!! Made this for lunch with my parents and everyone loved it! I cut my aubergines in long ‘chips’ and served it warm! Wanted a lower calorie option so didn’t add any extra oil at the end (just added the juice of one lemon) and fiddled around with ratios a bit. Still incredible.

Super easy and very tasty. I used wholemeal cous cous cooked in chicken stock for extra flavour, and a jar of marinated aubergines from Lidl and replaced the cherry tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes. Had it with courgette frittatas from this website for a quick and easy lunch.

tip

I sliced the Aubergine a bit thinner, salted them before hand to get rid of any excess moisture and used a grill pan. I left out the goats cheese and added toasted sunflower seeds. I also grilled courgette and red and yellow peppers to which I added fresh basil as a side dish. Grilled…
