Mediterranean Cous Cous

- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 2
I used red pepper and artichoke tapenade from Trader Joe's, but you can just use roasted red peppers from a jar and chop then up as a topping. I tend to like savoury, salty things. You should adjust amounts according to your own taste. Read more Serve cold on greens as a salad or warm with a fried egg for brunch. See less
