Next, heat butter or ghee in a pan and sauté the carrots until golden brown. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and add honey. Continue sautéing and stirring gently to fully coat the carrots in honey. Finally, add lemon juice. If possible, you can prepare both the glazed carrots and the couscous simultaneously to ensure the glazed carrots stay warm.
Next, let’s prepare the main part of the meal. Season the couscous in a pot with salt to taste and pour in 100 ml of boiling water. Afterwards, cover it with a lid and let it sit for about 8 minutes, stirring it once during the process. Meanwhile, heat a pan with olive oil and sauté a finely chopped clove of garlic and onion until golden brown. Then add the couscous, tuna, and heat them together. Finally, stir in a raw egg and let it finish cooking.
Now you can proceed to serve the meal. Place the couscous mixture on a plate, top it with the glazed carrots, sprinkle with your favourite herbs, and you can dig right in!
