This dried tomato cows nous came out of two things, my recent dried tomato sauce recipe, and the fact I have been using Cous Cous a lot recently in my diet.

A naturally low in carbohydrate grain as it is, it is also a great change from the usual rice, which I must confess, doesn’t really do it for me.

The only thing about Cous Cous is that its bland, but ultimately, it can be a great carrier of flavour.

Paired with the sweet tomatoes, this one is a real winner, and something I think you will love to add in to your daily merls.

Oven dried tomatoes, somewhat easier than you think, it just requires some time. This time I'll let them cool and put them in tonight's salad. If you'd like to see how I turn them into sauce, check out the link in my bio @fatladfood or check the video on IGTV.
