Syn Free Roasted Vegetables and Ham couscous - sweet roasted peppers, onions, butternut squash and ham with fluffy couscous.

Couscous is such a great ingredient, it literally takes 5 minutes to cook and you are done. You just add hot water or stock, leave for 5 minutes with a lid on, and then remove and fluff with a fork, simple as that.

The only complicated part is deciding what ingredients you want to add into it.

Today I was roasting a whole tray of yummy vegetables, so figured those would be perfect, along with some chopped up ham. You could add some chicken or even some feta or cheddar if you have an HEa spare.

Got a picnic planned or maybe you take a packed lunch to work each day, this Roasted Vegetables with Ham Couscous would be a perfect meal for either of those things.'

Serve the Roasted Vegetables and Ham Couscous as a complete meal, or on the side of another dish.

For the roasted vegetables, you really can roast any vegetables of choice, but for this dish, I like red and green peppers, red onion, butternut squash and zucchini, then I also mix in a bit of canned sweetcorn. I diced the vegetables into small pieces, so you get little equal bites of yumminess in every mouthful.
