Mexican Nacho Burgers with Curry and Cheddar Couscous and Green Vegetables

 

Hellos to all of you out there!

Tonight, Spaghetti Lovers are going to present you with another delicious, cheap and easy-to-cook recipe. This time it´ll be an amazing mixture of couscous and vegetables accompanied with ASDA´s Mexican nacho burgers (truly amazing stuff, definitely worth trying. We´re in love with them!).

You´re going to need:

Couscous (amount, once again, depends on how many portions you´re planning to make)

Grated cheddar (we say – loads!)

Mexican Nacho Burgers (veggie)

Frozen vegetables – peas, corn, broccoli, spinach (we used frozen chopped spinach, I can imagine, though, that fresh would work even better)

Salt and pepper

Curry powder

Olive oil

The first thing you need to do is to put the burgers into a preheated oven

(in accordance what´s written on the package – should be around 20mins, 200 degrees). 

Make sure you turn them after 10mins to get them evenly baked and crispy all around.

Boil enough water in a pot 

(or use a kettle...lazy!:)) 

and place your frozen veggies into the boiling water. 

Add a bit of salt and cook the vegetables until they are soft 

(not too soft, it´s better to have them nice and fresh and crispy than gooey and mashed...). 

Once they´re ready (takes about 8mins), strain them and season them with a bit of pepper. 

Now, we´re quite a bit into olive oil so we usually add about a spoonful to the vegetables to give it a nice Mediterranean hint.

It works really well with butter instead of olive oil as well. 

Yummy.

Then, place a reasonable amount of couscous in a smaller pot

(we´re quite bad at measuring stuff...we pretty much always just estimate and usually eat everything we cook because what´s the point of keeping it for later, right?:)), 

add a bit of boiling water and stir it. 

Again, never know exactly how much so we usually just add a bit, let the couscous soak and then, 

if it looks like the couscous is still going to be too hard, 

add a bit more water and let it soak again. 

Repeat until the couscous is nice and soft. 

Add a bit of salt and looooooads of curry

(if you´re as crazy about curry as we are!)

and stir it all well.

To make the couscous a bit creamy, 

add two spoonfuls of grated cheddar and stir it in. 

Place everything on a plate 

(careful while taking the burgers out of the oven!) 

and put some more cheddar on the vegetables

(they must be still warm, though, otherwise it doesn´t work 100%).

You can, of course, add a dip or sauce according to what you like

(my personal favourite is chilli relish) to go with the burgers.

Bon appétit!
