Couscous, Lentil & Veggie Bowl
Description
This dish is inspired by a delicious dish that I had over a recent weekend away (credits to Linda) - I loved it so much so I put my own spin on it to create this bowl of goodness. This dish can be eaten as a main meal or as an accompaniment, and everyone can also put their own personal spin on it depending on what your preferences are! The serving size and amounts here on based on having the dish as a main meal. This dish cheats a little by buying a pre-packaged bag of roasting veggies - but you can also chop & assemble your own if you please!
Would HIGHLY recommend not substituting the chilli & coriander yoghurt addition as it really ties it all together!
