This easy to make recipe can be tailored to the flavours you love.
San Remo has some fantastic products and recently I found out their brand is not just limited to pasta. By following the instructions on the San Remo couscous packet I was able to make beautiful fluffy couscous. I then added the flavours I love to the couscous to create this vegetarian dish that is not only family friendly but can be served for lunch or dinner.
Follow the instructions on the San Remo packet to make fluffy couscous.
