Warm Nectarine and Couscous Salad
with goat's cheese and honey mustard dressing
Creamy goat's cheese pairs oh so well with the juicy sweetness of stone fruits such as nectarine. A satiating element comes in the form of couscous while toasted almonds add crunch and a subtle smokiness.

Cooking steps
- Place a pan over medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, dry-fry the almonds, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily.
- Pour the couscous and stock into a bowl.
- Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml).
- Cover with a plate or cling film. Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Halve and pit the nectarines, then thinly slice into wedges.
- Once the almonds are toasted, return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the nectarines and fry until caramelised and charred, 2-3 mins each side.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomato. Trim and roughly chop the cucumber.
- Halve, peel and roughly chop the shallot. Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop.
- Toss the couscous with the mint, cucumber, shallot, tomatoes, paprika, honey mustard dressing and one-third of the goat's cheese.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide between bowls and serve topped with toasted almonds and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese.
- Arrange the charred nectarines on top of each salad.
