Instructions
1
Combine 1 cup water with a little salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan and place over the heat. When the water comes to a boil, add the cup of couscous and turn off the heat. Let stand until the couscous absorbs the liquid. Mix in a handful of raisins and the cashews.
2
Prepare the other ingredients as follows. Wash and cut the green bell pepper into pieces. Wash and dice the tomatoes. Finally, mince the onion.
3
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet and lightly fry the onion and bell pepper over medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring often.
4
Add the diced tomato and cook over medium heat for 6–7 minutes. Season with a little salt. If the contents of the skillet look a little dry, you can add a little water, but don’t overdo it.
5
Serve the couscous in several different bowls and serve the contents of the skillet on a plate or dish so everybody can help themselves.
Tips & Tricks
