Cooking Steps

Make the couscous
1

• Preheat BBQ to high heat. Boil the kettle. • In a large heatproof bowl, add couscous and stock concentrate. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork and set aside. Allow to cool slightly.

Get prepped
2

• Thinly slice zucchini into strips lengthways. • Thinly slice capsicum. • In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, half the garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. • In a second medium bowl, combine capsicum, the remaining garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. • To a third medium bowl, add chicken tenderloin and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and toss to coat.

Grill the veggies
3

• When BBQ is hot, grill zucchini until charred and tender, 2-4 minutes each side. Return to bowl. • Grill capsicum on BBQ, tossing occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, 6-8 minutes. Return to bowl. No BBQ? Cook zucchini in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes each side. Return to bowl. Cook capsicum on high heat, tossing occasionally, for 4-5 minutes. Return to bowl.
