Kipper couscous recipe

This quick couscous recipe is similar to a kedgeree but as it uses couscous rather than rice it's much quicker to whip up. A great quick and healthy family meal

Ingredients

• 1tbsp vegetable oil
• 200g packet frozen kipper fillets with butter, thawed
• 1 onion, peeled and diced
• 2tsp curry powder or garam masala
• 175g mixed frozen peas and green beans, thawed
• 200g couscous
• 400ml hot fish or vegetable stock
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 2 medium eggs, soft boiled for 7 minutes

Method

1. Heat the oil with the butter from the pack of fish in a frying pan. Add the diced oinoin and allow it to soften over a moderate heat for 10 minutes.
2. Add the curry powder, or garam masala, the vegetables and the skinned kipper flesh, broken up into chunks.
3. Sprinkle in the couscous and pour in the stock. Turn off the heat and leave the mixture to stand for 5 minutes. When the stock has been absorbed, give it all a gentle stir and then season to taste.
