Easy Peasy But Oh So Yummy Cous Cous

This cous cous is very yummy and easy! Its the perfect with just about any meal and is great and cheap for a take along dish to a party can be severed cold, room temp or warm!

Ingredients:
1 cup dry cous cous
1 small or half a normal brown onion finely diced
2 sticks of celery finely diced
1 tomato diced
1 tsp vegeta stock powder
1 tsp chopped parsley
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup tasty cheese

Method:

Saute onion, celery and minced garlic in olive oil until onion is translucent and celery is softened. Remove from heat and put into a large bowl (keep the oil and put it in too as it will stop the cous cous from being too dry), add remaining ingredients except cheese and mix. Add boiling water according to cous cous instructions on packet (usually same amount as the cous cous) and give it a quick stir then cover with clink wrap and set aside for 5 mins for the water to be absorbed then fluff up the cous cous mixture with a fork until fluffy then put into your serving dish or alongside your meal and sprinkle with the cheese.
To pretty up the dish when taking to parties slice a couple of cherry tomatoes into a cross shape without going all the way through and open up alternate with bunches of basil or parley (see pic)
Enjoy!
