CRACK ON WITH THE Couscous
Boil the kettle. Place the Couscous in a bowl with 75ml [150ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
CREAMY SEAFOOD SAUCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the 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 [60ml]|#7DA0D7 of water, and seasoning. Mix to combine and set aside.
ZINGY BABY TOMATOES
Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the mixed herbs. In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, ½ of the lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
MOUTHWATERING Mussels
Return the pan to medium-high heat. Place the Mussels in the pan with the remaining 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.
GET A LOAD OF THIS
When the Couscous is done, toss through the feta, ¾ of the herbs, the tomatoes, and the green leaves. Season and set aside.
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.
