1. Measure the couscous into a large heatproof bowl, pour over the hot stock, then cover with cling film. Leave to stand for 5 mins or until the couscous has absorbed the stock and is soft. Add the egg and yogurt and mix well. Season, then fold through the cheese, tomatoes and spring onions.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the fritters over a medium heat for 3 mins on each side until golden. Serve with a green salad and a spoonful of your favourite chutney.

Making the fritters

Wet your hands before shaping the fritters to stop the mixture sticking to your hands. SunBlush tomatoes are softer than sundried. If you only have sundried, stir them into the couscous before adding the stock.

'These fritters were very easy as I had virtually all the ingredients in my storecupboard. The end result was moist with interesting flavours.'

  Easy and quick to make. Lovely with the feta - even convinced my friend who hates couscous to eat one!

  Surprisingly good recipe. I didnt think the cous-cous would hold together when fried, but it did.
