Serving Size: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Couscous
  • 1 Cup Cold Water
  • 2 Red Capsicums
  • 1 Handful Asparagus, trimmed, chopped
  • 1 medium sized Zucchini, Sliced Finely, Length Ways
  • 3 Spring Onions, Sliced finely
  • Handful Parsley, Roughly Chopped

Method
  1. Place the Couscous in a bowl with the cold water, set aside and cover. The Couscous will start to soften and will soak up the water.
  2. While the Couscous is softening, place the Capsicums on a frying pan or grill on medium to high heat and cook until skins on the Capsicums on all sides turn black. Turn when you need to.
  3. When the skins are completely black, transfer Capsicums into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 5 minutes or until completely cooled. This will steam the skins and make peeling and cleaning easier.
  4. Remove the skins and seeds and roughly chop. Set aside
  5. On a very hot ridged grill pan, lightly char the asparagus and zucchini on both sides then toss them into a bowl with the couscous and capsicums.
  6. Add the spring onions and parsley, mix well.
  7. For the Olive Oil and Lemon Dressing, add all ingredients into a bowl and mix together well.. Pour the Olive Oil and Lemon Dressing over the top of the couscous and toss.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

At the heart of any Italian family, most people would describe their Nonna as the foundation  of their family.
 
I am very fortunate to have two incredible Nonna’s in my life. Both with different personalities and with different stories to tell, the one underlining thing they have in common is the importance of family.

I love the Spanish decadent donuts, which we all know as Churros.

They are golden and sweet but the best thing is dipping them into a thick layer of rich dark chocolate!
