- Add the bean mix to the leeks in the pan, then reduce the heat to low. Place a lid on the pan and leave to braise for 10 minutes.
- Thinly chop the parsley and the walnuts. Mix them together with some feta and spice mix – ensuring to keep some of the feta and spice mix for plating up.
- Strain the cous cous, then add it to the parsley salad. Season the salad with some olive oil and salt.
