Couscous & falafel salad with minty yogurt

300g couscous
300ml hot vegetable or chicken stock
250g tub olives and feta cheese
in olive oil
1 heaped tbsp harissa paste
2 x 200g packs falafel
290g jar roasted red pepper

For the yoghurt

300g fat-free yogurt

Method

step 1
Put the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the stock. Cover with cling film and leave for 5 mins to swell. Drain the olives and feta, reserving some of the oil. Stir most of the harissa into the couscous with the reserved oil, then season.
step 2
Tip the couscous onto a platter and scatter over the falafel. Pile the peppers, olives and feta to one side. Mix the yogurt and most of the mint with some seasoning in a small bowl, ripple through the rest of the harissa, and scatter over the remaining mint. Serve with the couscous & falafel salad.
