Ingredients:

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 tbsp Olivani
  • Crushed garlic glove
  • Vegetable stock
  • Water
  • Diced carrot, beetroot, potato (or pumpkin)

  5. While onion is cooking, chop spring onion, zest lemon and rip baby spinach leaves and combine in a bowl. Add red onion.
  6. In a bowl, combine protein (e.g. diced firm tofu, meat alternative), a dash of olive oil, a sprinkle of mixed spice, paprika, salt & pepper.  Stir to coat. 
  7. Wipe pan clean and cook protein.  I used Fry's Chicken Strips.  
  8. In a glass, mixed a large spoon of vegan garlic aioli and a generous squirt of lemon juice.  Stir to combine.
  9. Combine couscous, greens, onion and roast veges in a bowl.
  10. Serve couscous salad, top with protein and dress with lemon aioli dressing.  Serve warm.
