Ingredients

• 150g (3/4 cup) wholemeal couscous
• 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 4 eggs
• 225g haloumi, sliced
• 2 green shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon, rind finely grated, cut into wedges
• Baby mint leaves, to serve

Method

• Step 1 Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour over the boiling water and 2 tsp of the oil. Cover. Stand for 5 minutes or until absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
• Step 2 Meanwhile, place the asparagus in a bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes or until tender crisp. Drain. Refresh under cold running water.
• Step 3 Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add the vinegar. Reduce heat to low. Use a large spoon to stir water into a whirlpool. Carefully crack the eggs into whirlpool. Cook for 3 minutes for a soft yolk or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.

• Step 4 Heat a chargrill on medium-high. Cook the haloumi, turning, for 1 minute or until charred. Place the couscous, asparagus, haloumi, shallot and rind in a bowl and toss gently to combine. Divide mixture among plates.
• Step 5 Top salad with an egg. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with the mint. Season. Serve with lemon wedges.
