I love couscous for lunch - it's tasty, filling, and extremely easy to make in the mornings. I measure out 50g of it (worth 188 calories) into whatever container I am taking to work, bung some boiling water on top and put the lid on the container. Sometimes I throw some frozen peas in there too at the same time. It "cooks" whilst I eat my cereal and drink my coffee. I then just add whatever I fancy to the couscous to liven it up, depending on what I have in the fridge! You can add anything, like green or red pesto, a little extra virgin olive oil, tuna, prawns, leftover chicken, olives, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, arugula, anchovies, sweetcorn, artichoke hearts, cracked black pepper and sea salt... the list is endless! I usually eat it at room temperature, but you could easily warm it up if you prefer. It's so tasty and filling and incredibly quick to make, and it looks fresher and nicer than the pre-made salads you see in delicatessens that cost about ten times the price!
