The couscous with tuna and sun-dried tomato pesto is a hearty first course that can be made in just a few minutes.
Couscous is perfect for when you don’t feel like cooking pasta or rice, since it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare. It can also be a tasty first course if dressed with flavorful ingredients, just like in this case: a pesto made from sun-dried tomatoes, capers, green olives and walnuts.
To make it more satisfying I then added tuna and feta cut into cubes. In a short time and with a few steps you’ll bring a delicious dish to the table that the whole family will love!
