  1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
    Quarter the carrot lengthwise, then thinly slice. Cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the spring onion. Finely chop the coriander, including the stems. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Finely grate the zest of half the lemon*, then juice the half.

  3. Step 3 — Soak couscous
    Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl, add 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, pour over 200ml boiling water and cover with a plate. Stand for 5 mins or until the water is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork.
  4. Step 4 — Prep coriander yoghurt

  5. Step 5 — Finish couscous
    Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium frypan until hot. Cook the carrot, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring, for a further 3-4 mins until tender. Add the vegetables, spring onion, remaining coriander, 1 tbs lemon juice and 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil to the couscous. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
