How to Make Spicy Tuna Couscous
- Combine 1 cup couscous and 1 teaspoon of your favorite spice blend (e.g., Ras el Hanout, or a mix of cumin, coriander, and paprika) in a heatproof bowl.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of boiling water while stirring constantly with a fork until the couscous is evenly moistened.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (capsicum), 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Add 1 (5 ounce) can of tuna (drained), the vegetable mixture, and the cooked couscous to a large bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately over a bed of lettuce leaves. Optional: Garnish with extra fresh mint or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra heat.
