- Rinse the couscous and place in a heatproof dish with the stock cube, chopped apricots and prunes
- Cover the couscous with enough freshly boiled water, to about 1cm above the couscous, stir round and leave it to absorb the liquid for 10 minutes (or per packet instructions).
- Meanwhile, place the peppers and peas in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes (or until the couscous is ready) - you could add another half a stock cube here if desired.
- Drain the vegetables, mix in with the couscous, serve and enjoy.
