I had an evil lunch today at work, was going to go to tesco for sushi and some other bits and bobs but Qamar asked me if I fancied a kebab from the local Turkish restaurant. I went for a lamb kebab, chips and salad, was very nice but it felt very wrong.
When I got home I still had some left over lentils from the other night (see below again) and I had some halloumi in the fridge. I think everyone loves halloumi don’t they? I fried the halloumi in some rapeseed oils, heated the lentils and added a few chunks of mozzarella to them. I had two wrap and simply added the lentils, halloumi, lettuce, a bit of beetroot and some chilli sauce. Very cheesy and very delicious.

Doesn’t look too appetising from the picture but was very nice!

I was on the train home from work last night thinking that I’d add an egg to the remainder of my curried puy lentils (see below) and fry up some lentil burgers. When I got home Alison had already eaten and I’d gone off the idea of the lentils for some reason so I looked in the cupboard and saw some giant couscous.
I’m not sure if this is the same as Israeli couscous (also known as pearl couscous) but it has the same nutty flavour and is just as delicious.
I fried some chopped up red onion in a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar and then added the giant couscous. I fried this for a couple of minutes more, added some black pepper, veg stock cube and covered with boiling water. I let it simmer down and then added frozen peas. When the giant couscous had a slightly al dente texture I removed from the heat. I transfered to a dish, stirred in a handful of mange tout, some chopped tomatoes and some parmesan cheese. Sprinkled with black pepper and it looked like this:

I had a bought fish curry in the fridge which was just past sell by date so I heated that up and had it with the couscous. Ideally I think the couscous would go with salmon or even sausages but the curry needed eating and it was fine!
