Normally on Fridays, I post some unhealthy looking cakes or treats that everyone loves the look of, but no-one really wants on these hot summer days. So it is time for a change and for a while (unless everyone hates them) I will be posting some lighter, healthier and altogether cooler summer foods. Today we will be taking a look at Couscous! Think it sounds boring? Time to think again…

It doesn’t matter what you place into a hollowed out pepper it always makes it look tasty, and things are no different when it comes to couscous! I think it is best to do much like the image and make them with different coloured peppers to give the idea some much-needed colour.

While this recipe is, in fact, make with imitation crab it would go just as nice with real crab. And I love most things sea-based from fish to crabs, to cockles so this is right up my street.

For me, nothing says summer than walking down the beach eating fish and chips and this is where this incredible couscous meal comes into it because they are in fact garlic tuna couscous cakes with French fries! Light, summery and mouth-watering makes this the perfect combination.
