  1. FLUFFY COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

  2. SEARED TUNA

    Pat the tuna steak dry with some paper towel. Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tuna and sear for 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan on completion. Cut into bite-sized chunks. Season to taste.

  3. LOADED SALAD

    In a salad bowl, add the rinsed salad leaves, the halved olives, the tomato chunks, the cucumber half-moons, the sliced onion (to taste), the drained feta, and the cooked couscous. Toss with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.

  4. DRESSING WITH A KICK

    In a small bowl, combine the drained capers, the mustard (to taste), a sweetener of choice (to taste), and a drizzle of oil. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Season to taste.

  5. SIMPLY STUNNING!

    Plate up a heaping helping of the loaded couscous salad. Top with the seared tuna chunks and drizzle over the caper mustard dressing. Sprinkle over the picked parsley. Well done, Chef!
