Whip up a quick, nutritious green couscous side dish in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

250.00 ml couscous
99.00 gm basil pesto
250.00 gm boiling water
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, halved lengthways and crossways
1 zucchini, peeled into ribbons
9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
150g haloumi, sliced
250.00 ml watercress sprigs
82.50 ml Sicilian olives

Instructions:

In a large heatproof bowl, combine couscous and pesto. Pour boiling water over them and stir well. Top with asparagus and zucchini, then cover and let sit for 5 minutes until water is absorbed.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add haloumi and cook, turning occasionally, for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Separate couscous grains with a fork. Tear haloumi into pieces. Add watercress sprigs, Sicilian olives, haloumi, and lemon juice to couscous. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve.
