Last week we went on a girls holiday to Kalkan, Turkey. I had the perfect week and of course, we feasted like kings. One day we hired a boat to take us on a private trip from cove to cove (which ended in group tattoos. Whole new kettle of fish.) Me and Charlie spent the evening before cooking up a storm in the kitchen to serve as lunch the following day. We served spanish tortilla, crispy bruchetta and fresh tomato and basil salad and the finest tabbouleh you've ever tasted. Here's the guilt and trouble free recipe:
250g giant couscous; the food so good they named it twice
Half a cucumber, chopped into chunks
Handful of sun dried or sun blushed tomatoes
Handful of mint, roughly chopped
Handful of parsley, roughly chopped
Juice of half a lemon
1 tsp cumin
3 tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil
Maldon salt and pepper
Simply cook the giant couscous and bung it all together. I think finishing off with a few pomegranate seeds and some crumbled feta cheese would have added a little extra sha-bam.
