Instructions

Make the Couscous
1
  • Add 200ml water (500ml for 4p) and stock powder to a pot and bring to the boil. 
  • When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and pop a lid on the pot.
  • Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Get Prepped

  • Trim the aubergine, then cut into roughly 2cm pieces.
  • Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.

Char the Veg
3
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a glug of oil.
  • When the oil is hot, fry the aubergine and pepper for 7-9 mins.

TIP: By stirring only every so often you'll allow the veg to char nicely.

Simmer the Ratatouille

  • Add the chopped tomato and half the torn basil
  • Cover and simmer for 5-7 mins.
