Paella-Style Double Chorizo Pearl Couscous

with Lemon & Aioli

Not just a pretty grain, pearl couscous adds a chewy al dente texture, and slightly nutty flavour to this paella-inspired dish. It's perfect for soaking up the rich red chorizo-adorned sauce. A good squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of parsley add freshness and zing, really making the dish sing.

The recent wet weather conditions across the East Coast have impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!
