Place the rinsed couscous in a heat proof bowl. Cover with boiling water straight from the kettle, and leave to absorb for 10 minutes.
Chop the onion, spring onion, carrot. If the sun dried tomatoes are in oil, just chop . However, if they are dried, leave to soak for 5 mins in a cup of hot water first to soften. I soaked my sultanas at the same time so they were really juicy and sweet.
After 10 minutes, 'fluff' the coucsous with a fork and add all the other ingredients. Mix well and pop into tubs for lunchtime.
