Student Recipe #1: Veggie and feta cheese couscous

As a uni student, I have gone through that phase of eating frozen pizzas and ready meals everyday for the first term. I wasn't bothered to cook, and I couldn't think of any easy recipes that didn't require so much time and effort. Then I heard from a friend of mine that couscous is incredibly easy to make and can be easily stored for your lunch/dinner the next day if you make a large portion. So one day I was experimenting in my kitchen and I decided to come up with my own couscous recipe. (Master chef Erica in the making!)


Ingredients:
Couscous (200g makes about 5-6 servings)
Stock (1 cube)
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Feta Cheese
Olives
1 Yellow Pepper
1 Cucumber
1 Medium sized tomato

Directions:
1. Boil some water and put it in a bowl, add the stock cube

2. Stir in the couscous and let it sit for about 5 minutes, and fluff with fork




















3. Prepare the vegetables




















4. Mix the vegetables, feta cheese, olives, couscous and add a dash of balsamic vinegar and olive oil


I used a pack of olives that already had some cheese mixed in.
I recommend using something like this because the added
herbs help season the couscous.  



Voila! It literally only takes about 10 minutes to make this incredibly yummy and healthy meal.
