Step 1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a large saucepan, melt the butter over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and allow to cool slightly, uncovered.

Step 2

While the couscous is cooking, finely chop the cucumber and tomato. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves and parsley leaves. Pick the mint leaves and thinly slice. Zest the lemon to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges.

Step 3

When the couscous has cooled slightly, stir through the cucumber, tomato, baby spinach, parsley, mint and lemon zest. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season with the salt and a good pinch of pepper.

Step 4

Transfer the mint and parsley couscous tabbouleh to a serving platter. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
