Fresh As Freeze Dried Coriander and Broccoli Couscous

Adding broccoli crumbs and Fresh As freeze dried herbs and spices added  flavour and goodness to this speedy couscous which I created last night. 

The flavours of Fresh As freeze dried dried herbs and spices are quite intense and a little goes a long way so I would start with the quantities suggested and add more to taste.

Using chicken stock or vegetable stock instead of water, if you have some at hand, would also give a deeper flavour.

You could add some toasted walnuts as well.

Yo can also substitute hazelnut for olive oil which is more expensive but delicious.

And for a more substantial vegetarian lunch  add 180 gm of crumbled feta and increase the broccoli to 1 cup. This version will  need a couple more tablespoons of oil .

1 cup of couscous
1 cup of hot water
1/4 teaspoon of Fresh As freeze dried garlic
1 tablespoon of Fresh As freeze dried coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon of Fresh As freeze dried chilli powder
