alkaline couscousThis week, the beautifully named ‘colon week’ I’m bringing you a high-fibre recipe to help cleanse your body - but it is also a delicious, delicious meal! Plus, as ever (due to the fact that I make it myself) it is really simple and quick - just the way I like my recipes to be!

Couscous with Tomatoes, Basil and Lentils

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 350ml of fresh vegetable juice (tomato, cucumber, spinach etc - OR you can use V8 or a shop bought veggie juice in this instance)
  • 350ml of alkaline/filtered water
  • 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of olive/avocado oil or Udo’s Choice
  • 220g of lentils (tinned or prepared yourself from dried)
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • A big handful of basil leaves, torn or chopped
  • 200g of uncooked couscous
  • A pinch of Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

This is really easy. Firstly steam fry the garlic in a little water until it is softened, just a minute will do. Then stir in the veggie juice, lentils, water, salt and pepper. Bring this to a simmer to cook the lentils through. Remove from the heat.

Now you can simply chuck in the lentils, tomatoes and basil - cover it up and let it stand for five mins until the couscous is cooked through.

Lastly, remove the cover and fluff up the cous cous with a fork and you’re ready to go!

Works awesomely as a side or as a main with a large salad.

Hi Ross,

Love your website, and I look forward to trying this recipe. Would you consider adding U.S. measurement equivalents? (Sure I should know them…but hey…)

Thanks for considering!
