The Recipe is created in the kitchen of CoffeeTalks Cafe.
It is a wonderfully customisable dish and can serve as both a main and a side.
The couscous can be replaced with Basmati Rice for a fuller side dish or Quinoa for a protein packed meal.
Ingredients:
Wholewheat CousCous / Basmati Rice / Quinoa
Fresh Herbs
Dates and Turkish Apricots
Almonds, Pumkin Seeds and Sunflower Seeds
