  • 400ml hot veg stock
  • 80g pine nuts
  • 60g dried apricots, chopped
  • Bunch of coriander, leaves chopped
  • 3 tbsp raisins
  • 2 tbsp golden sultanas
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice

  • Place the couscous in a medium serving bowl and pour over the stock. Cover and leave to stand for 5 mins. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for 3 mins, or until slightly golden and aromatic.
