COUSCOUS CAKES

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 cup couscous
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios nuts
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, salt 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Whisk in the couscous. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked couscous to a bowl and mix in the nuts, parsley and egg. Season with salt and pepper. With damp hands, form the couscous into 4 patties, about 1-inch thick (about the same thickness of your first thumb joint).
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick pan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully place the couscous cakes in the pan and cook until golden, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and serve.
  • BYOC: The thing I love about making cakes is I can really throw anything in there. Sticking with the Middle Eastern theme, dates would add a nice texture to these. Plus, you can break up leftovers in a pan for an alternative to fried rice. You can throw any herb in here - basil, thyme or oregano.

  • Pour into the springform pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 65 minutes.

COCONUT DATE CAKE



Coconut Date Cake image

From a Stork margarine competition in 1966 (South Africa). It is one of 20 recipes provided, and the competition required entrants to predict the order in which these cakes would be placed by the judges at the Stork Bake-Off Finals. (Winning prize was an Opel Kadett, a fridge and stove, plus R500, an electric mixer and R50 worth of kitchen utensils.) This cake is delicious, and was contributed by (as per the pamphlet) Mrs R.P. Muller, House No.1, Mooi River. One day I will try the other 19 recipes. (Found in my Mother's recipe collection.) We don't make the filling, we just sandwich it together with chocolate glace icing.
