Homemade taboulé (Syn free)

It has been a very hot day today, reminding me how I miss a good taboulé. In France, it's one of the most popular salad in summer.

So tonight, I decided to try to come with a recipe which would be as close as possible.

 

Taboulé recipe:

400gr couscous

500ml boilingwater

300gr tomato passata 

1/3 of a jar of syn free Colemans concentrated mint sauce 

Cherry tomatoes cut in quarters

Orange pepper bell

Weight your couscous in a plastic container, add your water, cover. Once ready fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients in the couscous and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours. Taboulé is served very chilled.

If the taboulé is too dry for you, more passata and mint sauce can be added.

In the last few months

So it's been a bit more than a month since my last post, god life has been hectic.....

1/ my partner and I split up a few months ago. 

2/ my comfort eating has gone down a lot since

3/ I realised I did not have much of a life so I decided to get a new one (which I enjoy very much)

4/ I had lucky escape some weeks even if I did eat non healthy food.

5/ I have now lost 2st and 10 pounds (yes, I know I have a lot more to come off. But come on, it's still a good result!!!)
