1. 1

   Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2. 2

   Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

3. 3

   Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

4. 4

   Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

6. 6

   Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.

7. 7

   Bulking upgrade: add the mozzarella, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
