This fresh and hearty side is almost a meal in itself. Grill garden-fresh zucchini, asparagus and broccolini, add them to the couscous, drizzle with lemon and olive oil, decorate with some anchovies and parmesan cheese and you will have the most appealing dinner accompaniment.

Serve it with your favorite grilled meat or fish. I love mine served with a chicken schnitzel for a healthier option than the traditional chips.

Serve it warm or cold and enjoy.
