Ingredients

  • 150 grams chorizo
  • 150 grams small scallops
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon runny honey
  • 250 grams couscous
  • 2 red peppers
  • 150 grams green olives
  • 100 grams button mushrooms
  • 100 grams feta
  • 20 grams flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • For the couscous, pour into a large bowl with 500ml boiling water. Sprinkle with a little salt and cover with a tea towel. Leave for 5-7 minutes until the couscous has absorbed all of the water.
  • Fluff up with a fork, then add the finely chopped peppers, sliced mushrooms, olives, most of the chopped feta and most of the chopped parsley. Stir well and leave to one side.
  • For the chorizo and scallops, finely slice the chorizo and put in a frying pan over a high heat. Sizzle until the oil has been released and the chorizo is crisp.
  • Add the scallops and cook for another minute (depending on the size of the scallops), then stir in the balsamic vinegar and runny honey.
  • To serve, pile a mound of couscous into each bowl, top with the chorizo and scallops (making sure you get plenty of the juice), then add a sprinkling of chopped parsley and crumbled feta.
