Ingredients

  • 10.5 oz couscous
  • 6 oz Persian feta in oil, drained, 1/4 cup oil reserved
  • 2/3 cup pistachios, toasted, chopped coarsely
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed, chopped coarsely
  • 3 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, loosely packed, chopped coarsely
  • 3 None spring onions, sliced thinly
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sumac, plus extra to sprinkle
  • 2.5 oz fresh pomegranate seeds

Method

  • Combine couscous with 1 2/3 cup boiling water and 1 tbsp feta oil in a large heatproof bowl. Cover and let stand for 5 mins, or until liquid is absorbed, fluffing occasionally with a fork.
  • Stir pistachios, herbs, onions and raisins into couscous and season to taste.
  • Whisk remaining feta oil with lemon juice and sumac. Season to taste. Add to salad along with pomegranate seeds and toss gently to combine.
  • Transfer salad to a serving platter. Top with crumbled feta and sprinkle with a little extra sumac.
