Ingredients
Scale
- 200g couscous
- 400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1⁄2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 watermelon radishes or 6 small radishes, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 cucumber, peeled into ribbons
- 1 large red onion, finely sliced
- 1⁄4 small red cabbage, finely sliced
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 3⁄4 small bunch of dill, torn into sprigs
- 1⁄4 small bunch of dill, leaves picked for garnish
Instructions
- Place the finely sliced red onion in a small bowl. Add the white wine vinegar and caster sugar. Mix well and set aside for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Place the couscous in a large heat-proof bowl. Boil water in a kettle and pour enough over the couscous to cover by 1cm. Cover the bowl and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili flakes.
- While the couscous cooks, slice the radishes into thin rounds, create cucumber ribbons, finely slice the red cabbage, and tear the dill into small sprigs.
- Drain and rinse the canned mixed beans. Toss with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Divide the couscous among serving bowls. Arrange the beans, sliced radishes, cucumber ribbons, and red cabbage on top. Add a portion of pickled red onions. Sprinkle with torn dill sprigs and garnish with dill leaves.
Notes
- Serve components at room temperature for the best flavor.
- Prepare all components separately for meal prep and assemble just before eating.
- Not suitable for freezing due to the texture loss of fresh vegetables.
