If you’ve been to an Italian supermarket, or just popped to your local Italian deli you will have seen the great array of marinated vegetables that are available in glass jars. These used to be some of my favourite things to pick up in the supermarket for lunches and dinners.

When you need a quick lunch or dinner they’re great to have in the cupboard or fridge to add to dishes. without compromising on flavour, as they have been preserved at their best state. So here I’ve combined some of my store cupboard favourites with cous cous from Garofalo – serve this as a salad on its own or it makes the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats and fish, particularly for a BBQ!

This recipe is from my Cook Along series and is in collaboration with Garofalo Pasta as part of a paid for partnership. Garofalo Pasta is widely available on Ocado and Amazon
