Last week Co-op Food reached out to me and told me they were sending me a surprise. When it arrived I was delighted to see it was my favourite kind of delivery - a recipe box!
Co-op have teamed up with the YouTube channel SORTEDfood to tackle the cooking skills gap amongst youngsters and have created #nowcookit - a campaign all about educating and encouraging by offering free online cooking courses.
The recipe box I was sent was for a roasted vegetable couscous and let me tell you, this is a dish I have a love affair with so it couldn't have been more appropriate to appear at my doorstep.
The challenge was this: Visit the nowcookit website, find the couscous recipe from the selection of deeeeelish recipes and GO GO GO!
The steps were simple:
** Measure
** Chop
** Roast
** Couscous prep
** Mix
** Season
** And in 35 mins including roasting time you should be ready to service this tasty, healthy dish
Roasted Vegetable Couscous
For directions - head on over to nowcookit.co.uk for the full Vegetable Couscous Recipe. Not only does it give you all the details you need step by step but also video tutorials on bits like - deseeding the pepper, cooking couscous (which if you've never prepared before you'll be shocked at how simple it is) and knife technique. Keeping things simple in the kitchen - just how I like it.
Often being one to deviate from a recipe, I doubled the amount of couscous so the veggie to cous cous ratio for the one that I prepared was slightly different to the original. It served 2 adults, and 2 babies with leftovers.
If you're looking for a super easy, healthy, meat free dish you should definitely try this one. If you do I would love to hear what you thought.
Keep your eyes peeled on this blog for more recipes really soon.
Much love,
