Method
How to make the savoury tomatoes:
Chop the tomatoes
Chop the chilli – amount determined by your love of spice!
Put the coconut oil in a pan
When it warms up, add the Rye and Jiru and put the lid on the pan
When it pops, add the chillies and cover the pan again
After about 15 seconds, add the chopped tomatoes
Add the salt, turmeric and ground coriander powder
Let it cook
When it’s as soft as you’d like add the coriander – this is usually after 5 minutes for me
How to make for the cous cous:
Boil the kettle
Put the cous cous in a bowl
Crumble the stock on to the cous cous ensuring there are no lumps
Mix it up
Drizzle some olive oil on it
Add water so that the level of water reaches about 1cm above the cous cous
Add some freshly ground salt and pepper
Stir a little
Cover the bowl with a plate and leave it for about 3 minutes
The water should be absorbed and the cous cous will be ready
Serving:Â Put the cous cous in a little bowl and turn it upside down to present the cous cous as shown in the photo.
