Serves 4- 220gcouscous
- 250mlhot vegetable stock
- 10gmint, roughly chopped
- 10gflat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 1lemon, finely zested; juice half and cut the other half into wedges
- 400graw king prawns, peeled

- 2 tbspolive oil
- 220gspring greens, finely shredded
- 3spring onions, finely sliced
- 120gGreek yoghurt
- Fine salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Method
- Put the couscous in a heatproof bowl and season with salt. Pour over the hot stock, cover with a plate and leave for 10 minutes until the grains are tender and have absorbed the liquid.
- Meanwhile, stir the honey, chilli flakes and 1 tbsp olive oil together in a bowl. Add the prawns, season with salt and black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork. Fold through half the mint and parsley, the lemon zest and juice from half the lemon. Reserve the remaining herbs and cut the other lemon half into wedges.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the spring greens and spring onions and cook for 3 minutes until wilted, glossy and still holding some bite.
- Add the coated prawns and their marinade in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then turn and cook for 2 minutes until pink, opaque and lacquered with a bubbling honey glaze. Cook in two batches if needed, returning the first batch to the pan at the end.
- Toss the prawns and greens together for 30 seconds until the green ribbons are threaded through the glaze. The prawns should be steaming hot throughout.
- Spoon the couscous into four bowls, then pile the prawns and greens over it. Add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt to each bowl and finish with the reserved herbs and lemon wedges.
