Tunisian Style Cous Cous

It shocked me how simple this recipe was to make. With the amount of ingredients it has, I was expecting something to take forever and as I hadn't cooked with cous cous before, I didn't realize it only took no more than 5 minutes to prepare. It is such a satisfying meal.

- juice of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice                
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- teaspoon each of dried:
  • chilli powder
  • cumin
  • oregano
  • salt
  • garlic powder
  • black pepper
  • onion powder
  • paprika
  • cayenne pepper
  • celery salt
- 1/2 cup cous cous
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 red capsicum
- a handful of beans
- a handful of broccoli

1. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, vinegar, garlic, and mixed spices.

2. In a frying pan, saute the onion in the oil until tender, then add the mixture from step 1. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the tin tomatoes and vegetables.

3. Soak the cous cous in 3/4 cup hot water. Once the cous cous is soaked through, add it to the frying pan. Combine everything until it is thoroughly mixed. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
