Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop mild chorizo (see ingredients) and capsicum. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop celery.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous (see ingredients), stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chorizo and capsicum until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add carrot and celery and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic paste, tomato paste and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and brown sugar and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. • Add pearl couscous and the butter, stirring to coat, 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and season to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine rocket leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Divide Mediterranean chorizo and veggie couscous between bowls. • Top with balsamic rocket. Crumble over cow's milk feta to serve. Enjoy!
