Drain off any water that has not been absorbed. 2 Finely chop the leaves off the mint, parsley and coriander. Mix into the cracked wheat or couscous with the remaining ingredients, cover and chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, to allow the flavours to blend, and the leaves to soften. 3 Stir again, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve as a first course with good bread, or as an accompaniment. Converted by MC_Buster. Recipe by: Sophie Grigson”s Herbs Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
