Boil kettle

Put stock cube in measuring jug and add 200ml boiled water.

Finely chop garlic and place in sauce pan with huge dollop of olive oil

Add cumin, paprika, cinnamon and lemon juice and mix it up so it's a bit gloopy (add more oil if necessary)

Put on a medium heat for approximately 1 minute until it sizzles.

Add the stock and raise the heat until it just bubbles

Take the pan off the heat.

Add the couscous and swirl around until it is all covered in the liquid.

Cover with a lid and leave for 6 minutes.

Fluff up with a fork and serve in a bowl.

Add a handful of raisins or sultanas if you're feeling exotic!
