    1 Put the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the hot stock. Cover and set aside until the stock is absorbed.

    2 Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil, then add the sausages and cook for 5 min. Add the capsicums and stir-fry for a further 5 min or until tender.

    3 While the capsicums are cooking, blanch the green beans in a small pan of boiling water for 2 min. Drain, then add to the frying pan and stir-fry for 2 min.

    4 Fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the sausage mixture to the bowl and stir to combine. Drizzle over the balsamic dressing and mix well, then serve with the salad leaves.
