Directions

Heat a saucepan with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for about 4 minutes, until just beginning to brown. Add the couscous and cook stirring, for about 4 minutes until aromatic and toasted.

Add the water and salt, bring to the boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer.

Cooke for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until all the liquid is absorbed. The couscous should be tender but slightly chewy.

Transfer to a bowl for serving. Stir in the remaining ingredients, adjust seasoning and serve.

Excellent, warm, at room temperature and cold.
