4. Mix together spices, vegetables, fresh lime juice, and add to cooked couscous.
5. Top with coriander, mint, caramelised figs and drizzle of Sweet Balsamic Reduction.
6. Garnish and Serve.
Note: Instead of pan frying vegetables, for a chunkier version, they can be cut up in large cubes and roasted in the oven before hand.
