Couscous Salad

This nice salad you can prepare in advance, so easy when you are having a dinner with friends.

Ingredients:
250 gr couscous
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 green pepper
roasted pepper
2 spring onions
olive oil
cider vinegar
coriander
parsley
spearmint
salt
pepper

Directions:
Cook the couscous according the instructions on the package, because there are many sorts of couscous and each has its own way to prepare better check the instructions. Cut all the vegetables in very small pieces. Put the couscous in a bowl and add the fine cut vegetables. Add also fresh fine cut herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil and cider vinegar. Put it in the fridge to cool.

Roasted peppers

It isn't always possible to roast peppers on the bbq but it gives them just that extra flavor. The alternative is the oven. So this time I'm going to roast them in the oven.

Ingredients:
all sorts of colored peppers
olive oil
cider vinegar
oregano
jars


Directions:
Preheat the oven at 220°C and put the peppers in an ovenproof dish. Place the peppers into the oven and after 15 minutes turn them around. Leaves them in the oven another 15 minutes.

After half an hour take them out of the oven and cover the dish with tin foil and leave it for 30 min. The skin will go off easily this way. Peel them, get the seeds out and cut them in big long pieces. Don’t wash them with water because it will lose the nice flavor. Put the colored peppers nicely in a jar and pour olive oil and some cider vinegar on it until the jar is full. Add some oregano into the jar and shake a bit so that the oregano is all over. Leave this for at least one day before eating. You can keep these peppers in the fridge for about a week.
