DELICIOUS WALNUT COUSCOUS

Delicious Walnut Couscous image

This combines couscous with walnuts and vegetables, then punches up the flavor with a peppery blend. Really great vegetarian dish! I eat couscous a lot at college, so this is my quick, easy method for one person. Feel free to fiddle with the quantities and ingredients -- I just posted it here so I wouldn't forget it. I buy plain organic couscous and dried vegetables in bulk at my local health food store. I also use Frontier Organics "Pepperman" Seasoning Blend, to taste (contains salt, black pepper, chili pepper, garlic, and bell peppers). They wouldn't let me put it in the ingredients. :) Scrumptious!

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

boiling water
1/3 cup organic instant couscous (plain)
2 -3 tablespoons organic dried mixed vegetables (carrots, spinach, and tomatoes are all good)
1/4 cup chopped organic walnuts
seasoning

Steps:

Pour boiling water into glass measuring cup: I find that a little less than 1/3 cup works best for this amount of couscous, but I like it pretty dry. If you like your couscous moister, use a full 1/3 cup.
Immediately add couscous and veggies.
Cover measuring cup tightly (I use a folded paper towel and a small bowl which fits nicely inside the top of the cup to seal in the steam).
Let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Remove cover and stir in walnuts; season to taste, and eat it while it's hot! I just eat it right out of the measuring cup. :).

This is surprisingly filling, and very quick and easy to prepare. I enjoy it when I don't have much time, and need to make something for just one person to eat. It's very healthy too!

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 -4 large carrots, julienne
2 dates, chopped
3 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup couscous
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 teaspoon butter
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook carrots in pot of boiling water (cooking in the water preserves more nutrients than steaming) until just firm (about 5 minutes).
Prepare couscous by adding equal amount of boiling water to couscous in a bowl, and covering for 5-8 minutes.
Once cooked, fluff couscous and add olive oil.
Drain carrot water and butter carrots while still in the pot. Mix to cover carrots thoroughly with butter. (Fat helps to digest the nutrients in the carrots.).
Pile carrots, dates and wanuts on top of couscous.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
