Recipe

Ingredients

- 1 banana 

- 1 egg

- fruit

- maple syrup/ agave syrup

Method

- Mash up the banana

Tomato and Olive Giant Cous Cous

Giant cous cous is a new favourite of mine, I hadn't seen it before recently and so thought I would give it a try. It is kinda more 'pasta-y' than normal cous cous and as the name would suggest bigger!

You could use this recipe as a dish all of its own or have it as a side.

Method

Step 1

Boil the cous cous using the instructions on the packet then drain and place into a bowl.

Step 2

Add in chopped cherry tomatoes, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes with a little bit of the oil from the jar.

Step 3

Eat, that is all there is to it!

As you can see this recipe is super simple but still tastes really good! 

Enjoy!
