Mediterranean Cous Cous wtih Feta Cheese
250g of Cous Cous
300ml of boiling water (or stock if you want to make it really tasty)
1 Jar of Pasta Sauce (I used Sainsbury's Sun dried tomato and Chili sauce but any pasta sauce will do)
1 small can of Green Giant Sweetcorn
1 medium red onion (chopped into small pieces, you can add any vegetables you like such as courgettes, red & green (bell) peppers)
Olive Oil
Garlic
In a pan add the cous cous and boiling water together. Put a lid on and leave (some packets of cous cous say to cook the cous cous but I find it tend to burn to the bottom of the pan) for at least 15 minutes
Add a little olive oil to a frying pan, add the minced garlic (I used about 2 cloves but it depends on how garlicky you like things).
Once the garlic has had a chance to release its flavour, add the onion, sweetcorn and any other vegetables you like. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the jar of pasta sauce (you could add homemade pasta sauce but I am too lazy some times) to the vegetables and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes (the vegetables should be soft when the time is up)
Add the vegetable & sauce to the cous cous (which will be nice a plump by now)
Add the crumbled/cubed feta cheese into the cous cous mixture, mix well and put the lid back onto the cous cous for a further 10 mintues.
After 10 minutes, the cous cous is ready to serve. The heat of the sauce will have cause the feta to melt a bit - delicous! This can be eaten hot or cold, lovely with grilled, BBQ'd meats and fish!
