This cous cous with datterini recipe makes a quick and healthy supper. If you’ve never heard of datterini tomatoes, they’re pretty similar to plum tomatoes, but they have an extra special sweetness when ripe. You’ll find them all over Italy, but for this recipe you can use Cirio’s canned datterini for simplicity. And cous cous is a great healthy grain option if you’re pressed for time, as it’s cooked in minutes and works well with so many dishes.
Ingredients (serves 4)
200g pre-cooked cous cous
400g Cirio Datterini
100g Cirio Chick Peas
1 bunch of parsley

½ cucumber
4tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method
Drain the Cirio Datterini into a bowl and separate them from the juice.
