5
Ingredients
- basil to taste
- cherry tomatoes 5
- garlic clove 1
- olive oil 1 tbsp
- parmesan 30 g
- sachet of KetoDiet chicken or beef protein soup (whichever you prefer) 1
- sunflower seeds 2 tbsp for pesto + 1 tbsp to decorate
- water 100 ml
- wholemeal couscous 50 g

Method
Mix the protein soup powder with 100ml water. Leave to stand for 3 minutes. Pour the soup over the couscous and leave to stand for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the water. In the meantime, cut the courgette into half-circle slices and dry fry them on both sides. Add the olive oil, cherry tomatoes and garlic and sauté the vegetables. Stir in the soft couscous, a tablespoon of pesto and mix everything together. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, a dollop of pesto, dry roasted sunflower seeds and serve.
