Mediterranean/Portuguese inspired cooking.

As part of One World Week we have been learning about some popular dishes made in Portugal.

Although Portugal is not in the Mediterranean lots of it's cuisine is influenced by Mediterranean countries like Greece, Spain and Italy. We made Mediterranean vegetable cous cous.

Here are some photos of all the action- we had to be very careful when using the knives to cut the vegetables.

Firstly we cut up the cucumber.

We cut the feta cheese into cubes.

Then we quartered some cherry tomatoes.

Then we sliced the olives.

Next we cut up the onion.

Then we mixed all the vegetables and the cheese together.

We added boiling water to the cous cous to make it swell up and soften, then mixed it with everything along with some olive oil and lemon juice- yummy!
