Quick couscous salad with colourful peppers, lemon, parsley and plenty of mint.

Preparation

Heat the oven to 220 C conventional or 200 C fan. Remove seeds from peppers and cut into 2 cm pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on a lined tray. Roast 18 to 20 minutes until soft and lightly charred; cool for 10 minutes.
Put couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour over hot stock, stir once, cover tightly and leave 8 minutes. Fluff with a fork and spread it in a wide bowl to cool for 10 minutes. Thinly slice spring onions and finely chop mint and parsley.
Whisk lemon juice, remaining oil and remaining salt in a large bowl. Add couscous, peppers, spring onions and herbs. Toss until evenly dressed. Taste and adjust lemon juice or salt, then serve at room temperature.
