Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Rapid Foam_Review_625x430

Is your bathroom as clean as your kitchen? Might be time to rethink what you’re using. See why Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Rapid Foam is rating so well in MoM member REVIEWS.

Ingredients (serves 8)

meat of your choice (eye fillet or chicken fillet for me), cooked to your liking
spinach leaves
lightly sauteed mushies
lightly sauteed onions
cous cous (I use a cup and equal amounts of water or stock), a little oil to separate the couscous
roasted pumpkin - I toss mine in garlic, honey and soy

Method

Cook couscous as per packet instructions then let it cool in the pot.
Add the meat of your choice, and all the veggies.
Give the ingredients a light stir, then serve on a giant platter, or I make individual containers for lunches too.
Serve with coriander and natural greek yoghurt.

Notes

I just love cous cous and really think it is such a great way to eat.... all the colours, taste and freshness of the ingredients shine!!!

Couscous is so easy and light to eat!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I always just put veg and soy sauce in it for flavour. Never thought to add yoghurt or anything as a topping either.

If you have to cook all of the ingredients first I wouldn’t really consider it a one pot meal.

A quick no effort meal – and this way I could probably tolerate cous-cous too.

How simple could a meal be. This sounds scrumptious and almost no effort needed.

Ooooohhhhhhh, yum. I really enjoy couscous but mostly use it as a substitute for rice. Can’t wait to try out this delicious looking dish

We’ve not really tried couscous in our house. My son doesn’t like it’s texture (by looking at it!) and therefore I’ve not made it. However, I love all of the ingredients in this pot and think I could win the family over.
