8 shallots, peeled and halved1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
200g couscous

handful chopped fresh mint
salt and freshly ground black pepper

- Preheat the oven to 190C/340F/Gas 5. Place the shallots in a small roasting tin and drizzle with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 10-15 minutes, until golden.
- Place the couscous in a bowl and stir in the paprika. Pour over the stock and cover with cling film. Set aside for 10-15 minutes. Cook the broad beans in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Slip the beans out of their grey skins.
