Summer Couscous

Spiced couscous with spring onions, peppers and shredded smokey bacon ham, its a 5 minute lunch or side dish and can be eaten hot or cold. 

The sun is shining in Ireland this week, so do not spend this Bank Holiday weekend in the kitchen, get out there and enjoy it. 

We do still got to eat though, other wise the fridge pickers come out, and what do fridge pickers wear?  That's right, bigger knickers, and we don't want that. 

This will help with both fridge pickers and the bigger knickers issue and that's exactly what we want over a bank holiday. 

This can be something you make in the morning and allow it to go cold and its delicious.  It's so simple that it even works great and your camping over the weekend, because you don't need a lot of utensils, just boiling water, a Tablespoon, teaspoon and a knife.
