Expedition Foods says

Our Couscous with Cajun Spices and Vegetables is a vegan dream dish — with couscous made from crushed steamed wheat, this North African dish combines traditional couscous, vegetables consisting of chopped tomatoes, red kidney beans, lentils, onions, sweetcorn and bell peppers with old-fashioned Louisiana cajun spices of paprika, basil, fennel, salt, garlic onion, black pepper and chilli powder. A relatively spicy dish that vegans and non-vegans love, it’s best made as the sun sets over the Andean mountain range or on the top of The Quiraing. Add hot water, stir and let sit for five minutes. You’ll be back for more.

Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5 minutes for the food to rehydrate. Cold water will suffice, however the re-hydration time is much longer.

* The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. DO NOT EAT.
