Ingredients
- 50g couscous
- 4 medium courgettes, cut into thick slices
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- Grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp toasted cumin seeds
- 400g good-quality feta, cubed

Method
- Put the couscous in a small heatproof bowl. Pour over 75ml boiling water and set aside.
- Put the courgettes on a large plate, sprinkle over 1 teaspoon sea salt and leave for 10 minutes. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then sprinkle with the rosemary, lemon zest and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix well.
- Put a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and cook the courgettes for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, 2-3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the cumin seeds and some black pepper.
- Toss together the feta, watercress, mint, courgettes and the dressing. Sprinkle over the couscous and serve while the courgettes are just warm.
