Add the water to the kettle and boil
Rinse the peppers and mushrooms under the tap
Add the couscous to the mixing bowl along with the stock powder (you may need to crush the stock cube with fingers if using)
Dice the peppers and mushrooms and place to one side
Once the kettle has boiled, pour the water over the couscous until it is slightly covered
Mix the couscous so the stock powder / cube has dissolved with a tablespoon and cover with a plate
Put the frying pan onto the hob (medium heat) and add the oil
Add all of the vegetables to the frying pan and use the wooden spoon to mix around for 5-10 minutes until soft
Turn the heat off from the hob and let the vegetables cool down
Remove the plate from the mixing bowl to see if the water has been absorbed (if not, put plate back on and check every 2 minutes)
Once couscous is dry fluff it up with the fork
Add the cooked vegetables and mix in together using the wooden spoon
