Many other types of vegetables can be used, such as peppers, spinach, radicchio, carrots, aubergines, peas, etc.
- Meanwhile, place the pre-cooked couscous in a bowl, add a teaspoon of curry and add a drizzle of oil. Pour the water into a saucepan, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. When it boils, pour the water into the couscous, mix quickly, cover with cling film and let it rest for 5 minutes so that the couscous hydrates.
- The couscous is ready when it has absorbed all the water: shell it with a fork and mix it with the vegetables, seasoning with a teaspoon of mustard sauce.
- Transfer the couscous to the vegetables in an Easter bunny-shaped mold: press with a fork and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
- Turn the couscous bunny over into a serving dish. Decorate with some salad leaves or cherry tomatoes.
