2 x 160g cans Princes Tuna Chunks in Spring Water, drained
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
250ml water
½ vegetable stockpot
½ tbsp Ras-el-Hanout seasoning
170g couscous
2 tsp Harissa seasoning (or use paprika)
1 lime, sliced into 8 wedges
2 vine tomatoes, chopped
3 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mint sprigs, to garnish
1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Fry gently for 5 minutes until very soft.
2. Once the onion is cooked, add the water and bring to the boil. Stir in the vegetable stockpot and Ras-el-Hanout seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat, add the couscous, stir again, then place the lid on and set aside for 5 minutes.
3. Tip the cans of tuna into a bowl. Add the Harissa seasoning or paprika, squeeze in the juice from 4 lime wedges and add a pinch of salt. Mix together gently.
4. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir in the chopped tomatoes and mint. Share between 2 serving bowls or plates and top with the tuna mixture.
5. Serve, garnished with the remaining lime wedges, mint sprigs and a sprinkle of Harissa or paprika.
