  • 1 teaspoon moroccan spice blend
  • 1 cup instant couscous
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1 1/4 cups hot water mixed with 1 teaspoon powdered stock
  • 1 cup dried cranberries roughly chopped
  • 1 zucchini small, grated & excess moisture squeezed
  • 400 g canned chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • 1 handful parsley leaves finely chopped
  • 1 handful mint leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts toasted
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • For the couscous: Combine the instant couscous, olive oil, lemon zest and orange zest in a large bowl. Pour the hot stock over the couscous. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb the liquid. Fluff with a fork. Add the dried cranberries, zucchini, chickpeas, parsley, mint and pine nuts and toss gently to combine.
