Bean & Salad Couscous

 I put this together to accompany some (ready-made) lamb kebabs but also enough for packed work/uni lunches on the following couple of days.

1. Pop some diced spiced potatoes (I used fresh white & sweet potatoes) and also chickpeas from one tin into the air-fryer (or oven) to roast, then cool

2. Soak 300g of dried couscous, with 375ml of boiling water, tablespoon of tomato puree, teaspoon of paprika, some mixed herbs, salt & pepper 

3.  When the couscous was cooled and forked up, I added the following:

- grated ginger (a big thumb) and garlic (3 cloves)

- sliced radishes, carrots, cucumber, red&green peppers, green ends of spring onions

- thinly sliced one quarter of a red onion (don't want this to be too dominant)

-  a washed tin of kidney beans

At this stage I gently mixed the salad with squeezes of lemon, then: 

-  I added the roasted chickpeas and the potato cubes, gently mix

- I gently mixed in half the diced feta cheese (from a 200g block) and then arranged the rest on top.
