Ingredients

2-3 beetroot
200g chorizo, skin removed, sliced
200g giant couscous
300ml hot chicken stock
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp white wine vinegar
2 handfuls of watercress
Parmesan shavings to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Wrap the beetroot in foil, then put in a roasting tin and roast for 20-30 minutes until tender. Open the foil and set aside until cool enough to handle. Wearing rubber gloves, peel the beetroot and cut into wedges.
Heat a pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the chorizo until starting to crisp.
Cook the couscous in the stock according to the pack instructions, then tip into a large serving bowl and fluff up with a fork. Drizzle over the oil and vinegar, then stir to coat. Add the beetroot and chorizo, season, then gently mix. Gently toss through the watercress, then scatter over the parmesan shavings.
