Method

1. First things first, rehydrate your grains. For couscous: pop it into a lidded pot or bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Heat your stock till piping hot. Pour over couscous. Cover for 10 mins. For bulgar wheat, quinoa or rice just simmer stock with the grains, lid on, for about 12 mins or as instructed on the pack.

2. Once your grains are fluffy, fold in the chopped kale (parsley or greens) and garlic. Add the zest and juice of your lemon (catch those pips – you don’t want ‘em in there!). Season to taste. Be generous with the pepper.

3. Fold in some shredded roast chicken and any other veg (or fruit) you fancy adding in. Diced tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber or even jewel-like flecks of orange segment work a treat.

4. Scatter toasted nuts or seeds over. Finish with a generous gloss of olive oil. Taste one last time, making any final adjustments and serve.
