1 thought on “Crispy Roasted Aubergine with Creamy Couscous”
Stock is mentioned in the instructions, but not listed in the ingredients with measurements.
Would love to make it, so I’m going to guess! Also, it would be helpful if all the ingredients were in English measurements or in metric, rather than both!
Thanks!
