Ainsley Harriott Cous Cous Review.

As of late, I’ve been talking about some different things you can easily bake and make at home. 

So far we have spoken about bread and cake. 

Today we all about some Ainsley Harriott Cous Cous.

I have to admit before I go any further I feel the need to just share the price of these packets. It is very rare you can get much for under a pound. However, these packets come in at just 75p and make such a great side dish for any meal. 

There is also a huge 8 different flavours of Cous Cous to choose from! 

Today in this post I will mention just two. 

Sundried Tomato & Garlic Cous Cous.

Now I have to admit we actually first tried the Sundried Tomato yesterday as my Mum had fancied some for her lunch and then as it was too much for her, we popped the rest in the fridge for me to finish off later in the day.

These have also come in really handy when I have been having an awful day with my pain levels and struggling to stand. Of course, Ash still needs to eat after a long day at work, as such we have found whipping up some cous cous and throwing it together with some salad makes for a simple tea time idea.

When I say it is simple to make there are just to steps.

1 – Add 160ml of boiling water to the dry Cous Cous mix.

2 – Stir.

3 – Leave for 5 minutes. 

4 – Fluff (we found fluffing was best done with a fork). 

5 – Eat and enjoy. 

Moroccan Medley Cous Cous.

Another from the range is the Moroccan Medley.

To just bring a bit of variety, I thought I would show you this one fluffed instead.

Final Thoughts.

The flavours really stand out in all these cous cous choices. 

Although obviously they are great as a dish accompaniment, I have to admit I did have a spoonful or two by themselves as it smelt really delicious, so I just couldn’t wait.

As I mentioned earlier my Mum had it warm at lunchtime, while I had it cold for dinner, As such if you are a single person living by yourself you could honestly make this for lunch or dinner one day and then pop it into the fridge to finish off cold the following day.

If you fancy grabbing yourself a packet of either of these flavours or one of the 6 others (Roasted Vegetable, Spice Sensation, Wild Mushroom, Aromatic Thai Style, Chilli and Lemon, Mint & Parsley Cous Cous) you can grab them from Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Waitrose’s for the aforementioned 75p.
