Which was my mother's adaptation of a recipe in Sainsbury's in-store magazine.
250 grammes (8 oz) couscous
large bunch mint
250 grammes (8 oz) cherry tomatoes
125 grammes (4 oz) each frozen peas and sweetcorn
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of lemon
Salt & pepper
Pour 1 pint boiling water over couscous and leave for 10 minutes to swell. Meanwhile cook peas and sweetcorn in microwave.
Drain couscous if necessary, and return to bowl. Add oil, if using, and lemon juice, salt and pepper, and stir thoroughly, breaking up any lumps with a fork. Stir in cooked peas and sweetcorn, the tomatoes, left whole, and the chopped mint. Allow to cool.
Serve with lettuce.
