Today, the #missgingerishchallenge really started and my first cookbook is “Leon: ingredients and recipes” by Allegra McEvedy. Leon is a restaurant chain in England where “naturally fast food” is served: fresh, pure and healthy eating but as fast as the average burger chain. The menu is inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean cuisine and changes with the seasons. I don’t skip Leon when I’m in England, my favourites on the menu: sweet potato falafel, meatballs in tomato sauce, the superfoods salad, fantastic fries and the lemon ginger crunch for dessert. Put the couscous into a large bowl and stir in the oil, cumin and a hefty pinch of salt, plus the zest and juice of half a lemon, making sure each granule is well coated. Pour 300ml of boiling water over the couscous, stirring well to ensure there are no dry areas left. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 10 minutes somewhere warm. Parsley - A little sprinkled over before serving really lightens it all up. You could use mint instead, which goes really well with halloumi.
