Looking for a quick meal to cook in this heat? This is perfect in hot weather like today! It’s takes around 20 mins to make and it’s perfect served with some grilled chicken or fish and salad.

Cous cous recipe:

1. First dissolve 1 chicken or veg stock cube in 700ml of water. Set aside.
2. In a pot add a little oil & sauté 2 chopped spring onions & 1 chopped red pepper for few mins until soft.
3. Next, add 300g couscous, 1 tbsp pepper paste, 1 tbsp tomato purée, 3-4 tbsp peri peri medium sauce (I use the @aldiuk brand), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder - mix everything together until combined.
4. Pour over the stock, cover and leave to cook in the stock for 12-15 mins with the heat turned off. After 15 mins remove the lid & fluff up the couscous using a fork.

Cupcakes:

160g unsalted butter/stork margarine
160g self raising flour

2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 eggs
100 ml milk

Icing:
125g unsalted butter
250g icing sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder
150ml double cream

What you need to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 160° and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
2. Add the butter & sugar to a mixing bowl & mix together until it is soft, creamy and pale in colour. This should be done on a high speed and for 4-5 mins. If using butter, ensure it is at room temperature.
3. Next, add the eggs, flour, cocoa powder & baking powder. Beat together until everything is combined.
4. Pour in the milk whilst still blending and mix until fully combined. Try not to overbeat. Once the batter is mixed and comes together stop mixing.
5. Add a little batter into each cupcake case (the cupcake case should be 3/4 full).
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes
7. Place the cupcakes onto a wire rack to cool

Icing:
1. Ensure the butter is at room temperature so it is soft but not melted.
2. Place the butter into a mixing bowl and beat for 4-5 mins on a high speed and the butter is creamy and pale in colour
3. Sift in the icing sugar and the cocoa powder and beat until everything is well combined. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
4. Slowly pour in the cream and continue beating until everything is well combined and the icing is light and airy.
5. Take a piping bag and cut the end off (approx 1cm) and place a piping nozzle into it. Spoon the icing into the bag and push the icing down to the bottom ensuring there are no air bubbles. Twist the piping bag and pipe the icing onto each cupcake.

Enjoy!

I shared my sausage rolls I made this afternoon on my stories and I’ve been inundated with messages on how I make them so here’s an old video I am resharing 🙂

I use @tesco or @aldiuk puff pastry and I usually use sausages from my local butchers. If you don’t want to use sausages you can also use seekh kebabs.

Once they’re made you can freeze them, pop them in bags once frozen & bake as you need them. Before baking brush with some whisked egg and bake for 25 minutes on 200°C.

Any questions, leave them in the comments below 😀
