Cous Cous Stuffed Pork Fillet
Ingredients
Pork fillet
1 mug cous cous
1 chicken stock pot
Tbsp umami dust (or salt/pepper seasoning)
Chopped parsley
Finely diced onion
Finely grated carrot
Put cous cous in a bowl add 2 mugs boiling water (flavoured with stock pot).
Add umami, parsley, onion and carrot and mix together.
Cover bowl with clean tea towel for 10-15 mins.
Allow it to cool and then slice the pork fillet lengthways down the middle and stuff with couscous
It would be nice wrapped in smoked bacon - I just wrapped it tightly in tin foil.
Cook in oven until cooked (mine took an hour).
Serve with lots of free and super free vegetables. I chose steamed potatoes with carrots and turnip.
Lovely change!
