Lemon and Spinach Cous Cous

Lovely Surprise

I was not expecting this quick snack to be as tasty as it was.  It was so light, fresh and fragrant.  I will definitely be aiming to take this dish up to the next level. 

Ingredients:
Measure out perhaps an American cup of cous cous, use 2 chunks of frozen spinach, 1tbsp lemon juice, 2tsps mixed herbs, 2tsps oregano, a pinch of pepper, a small handful of chopped up chive

Method:

1. Place the cous cous in a pan and add water so it is just an inch about the cous cous.
2. Add the spinach to the pan, try not to use big chunks as it will take longer to cook.
3. Put on a medium heat and keep stirring with a wooden spoon so the cous cous fluffs up.
4. Add the other ingredients except for the chive.
5. Add the chive just before all of the spinach has defrosted and the cous cous is almost done.
6. Keep stirring and adding little bits of water at the time so the cous cous does not become too dry.  Do not add too much water or the cous cous will become too fluffy.
7. Serve when the spinach is cooked and the cous cous has the preferred texture.
8. Season to taste.
