  1. CRACK ON WITH THE COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. CREAMY SEAFOOD SAUCE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Add the kewpie mayo, the chilli flakes (to taste), the hard cheese, 30ml of water, and seasoning. Mix to combine and set aside.

  3. ZESTY BABY TOMATOES

    Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the mixed herbs. In a bowl, toss together the quartered tomatoes, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, the lemon zest (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. MOUTHWATERING MUSSELS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat. Place the mussels in the pan with a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of water, and seasoning. Cover and simmer until the mussels are heated through, 3-5 minutes (don’t worry, they are pre-cooked!). Remove from the heat and set aside.

  5. GET A LOAD OF THIS

    When the couscous is done, toss through the drained feta, ¾ of the chopped herbs, the dressed tomatoes with any remaining lemon dressing, and the shredded leaves. Season and set aside.

  6. WELL DONE!

    Make a generous bed of the loaded couscous and top with the cooked mussels. Drizzle over the creamy sauce and garnish with the remaining chopped herbs.
