I heard this on RSG as I was flipping through channels on my way back from work. Heard the lady said that the grapes takes on a raisin like texture, not a fan of cooked raisins so I think I'll give it a skip.

I bought red seedless grapes. Left it in the oven at 200C for probably about 20minutes and it still looked like normal,grapes to me. So n put the grill on for about 5 minutes. The end result texture is more like canned grapes, in other words it looks like grapes but its just a lot softer and sweeter. Not tough like raisins at all and also not like dried prunes.

Couscous is very easy. 1 cup of couscous to 2 cups of boiled water, or stock. Pour in and let it sit for 10 minutes, then fluff and add the rest of your ingredients.

The other day I did a grilled watermelon salad that I posted on the forum:
Cut 3 rounds from a watermelon. Place rounds on grill plate and grill each side for 5 minutes. Dice into 1-inch pieces.
Drizzle with balsamic reduction
Sprinkle a brick of feta on top.
Add mint (although in hindsight I'm not sure I like mint...maybe coriander leaves would have added some pepper to it), salt and pepper.

Interesting. I always have extra watermelon left over if I buy so will try the grilling.

Refreshing and tasty finger-food which is great for braai's that is quick to make.

Cut refrigerated tomatoes in half around the equator (You know what I mean)
Scoop out the inside seeds.
Place a large basil leaf in tomato so it sticks out like a jaunty little feather in a cap.
