very simple and tastes great

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, and spring onions and sauté them in a pan. Add the tomato juice (I always use 500 ml of tomato puree from a tetra pack) and bring to a boil. Add the couscous and stir. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the couscous swell for 20-30 minutes. Let the couscous cool. Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and feta cheese and fold in. Add salt, pepper, cumin, curry paste, mint, and herbs. Add the olive oil to make the couscous softer; adjust the amount as needed. Enjoy!
