It's nearly Halloween!! Time to plan our scary outfits, think of cool make up, decorate our houses, drink hot chocolates by the fire, waiting for our hair to dry from the rain and time to carve some pumpkins. However, pumpkins can also be made into a delecious dinner following the next recipe.
Feel free to alter some things to your liking, this is just how I made my dinner.

200 gr Couscous
120 gr Snow Peas

Olive oil
Sambal
Mint
Lemon juice

Chicken Bouillon Cube
