All in the name this is a very citrusy couscous.
Both lemons and oranges are used for sweet and zingy goodness. I’m good for eating vegetables but fruit not so much. There’s an awful lot of munching and crunching in chewing an apple so much so that it puts me off, I do love a fruit salad where everything is chopped into bite-size pieces and there’s plenty of berries involved and perhaps a dollop of cream. All the better if it’s prepared by someone else. Here the oranges used were easy peel satsumas and I used the zest and juice of the lemon.

Method:
Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the couscous, stir well and cook for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile prep. the other ingredients : zest and juice the lemon, peel and segment the satsumas, peel and slice the red onion.
Remove the lid and use a fork to fluff up the grains.
