CousCous With Smoked Chicken Ham And Melon Salad

Ingredients:

1 cup of plain couscous
1 pack of smoked chicken ham, cut in stripes
Handful dried apricots, chopped roughly
2 tbsp pine nuts
1/2 fennel bulb, sliced thinly
Bunch of fresh mint leaves, chopped finely
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt&pepper

1/2 small galia melon, cut in cubes
1/2 pack feta cheese, crumbled
Bunch of fresh mint leaves, chopped finely
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt&pepper

Couscous is such a versatile staple that can be prepared in hundreds of different ways. This time she used what she had in the fridge and this very taste mix came out of it. Put the couscous in a bowl and pour boiling hot water over it, cover with a lid or a plate and let raise up. Roast or fry the smoked chicken breast ham on a saucepan. Once couscous ready, throw all the ingredients in the bowl, stir and season with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh mint leaves, salt and pepper. She had a bunch of mint leaves left so she wanted to try this melon salad recipe she saw on Jamie Oliver show. His recipe was with watermelon but that one was not sold in the Netherlands anymore, so she tried with Galia. Very tasty, easy, new flavor combintation.
Bon Appetit!
