The Boyfriend's absolute favorite, this meal is simple and super fast to prepare:
Cook the prawns with a bit of olive oil or butter on a saucepan for a short while. Add the couscous and pour a glass and a half of water over it. Throw in the raisins and pine nuts, season with kurkuma, cinnamon, grounded cumin, chili pepper powder, salt and pepper. Cook until couscous softens and water evaporates. At the end add the tomato, avocado and fresh mint with coriander, stir gently. You can server this meal with a pita bread on side.
Bon Appetit!
