Couscous salad with vegetables and a pitta bread

Handy, that Brabantia Bento Lunch Box. In all those compartments and containers, you can keep different ingredients separate until lunchtime. And that means, you can eat something special for lunch. Like this couscous salad with pitta bread.

Ingredients (1 person)

  • 1 pitta bread
  • 40 grams couscous
  • ¼ courgette
  • ¼ red bell pepper
  • ¼ red onion
  • Olive Oil
  • ras el hanout seasoning
  • salt and pepper 
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 5 green olives

Prepare
Cut the bell pepper, onion, and courgette into small pieces. Place the couscous in a bowl and stir in salt, pepper, ras el hanout and a dash of olive oil. Pour boiling water over it until the couscous is just covered and cover the bowl with foil or a plate. Let stand for 15 minutes and stir occasionally.

 

Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with a dash of olive oil. Cook the finely chopped red onion for a few minutes. Add the bell pepper and courgette and cook for a few more minutes. Stir the couscous one last time and add it to the pan. Stir everything well and then turn off the heat. Let the couscous cool before putting it in your Bento Box.

Toast the pitta bread in the frying pan or oven according to the instructions. Put it in your Bento Box too and fill the other trays with the olives and cherry tomatoes as extra snacks! Enjoy your meal!
