Greek Ragu

Greek Ragu

with Almond, Aubergine & Basil Couscous

The Ancient Greeks are famed for their spectacular mythology, their Gods and Goddesses and their epic storytelling. But we think their ragu is one of their lesser known treasures. The gentle, warm tang of our tomatoes blends like a charm with flaked almonds and aubergines. And when you add the herby basil couscous into the mix... Well - take our word for it, the whole family will love it!
