Couscous Paella
This dish has all the paella flavours but only takes 5 minutes. That’s some seriously fast cooking! By using couscous instead of rice, we can eliminate most of the hassle involved in making a real paella and simplify the whole dish to a couple of easy steps.
Ingredients
¼ red pepper, cut into strips
Small handful of prawns
Small handful of peas
½ chicken stock cube
Pinch of turmeric
Small handful of couscous
Salt & pepper
Olive oil
Recipe
Start by pan frying the pepper in a splash of olive oil over a medium heat. After a couple of minutes add the prawns, peas, stock cube, turmeric and a small splash of water (about 25ml). Simmer for a couple of minutes until the peas are cooked and half the water has evaporated. Next, remove from the heat, season and stir in the couscous. Leave for a minute and it will plump up to create this amazing couscous paella.
