ISRAELI (PEARL) COUSCOUS



Israeli (Pearl) Couscous image

I travel to Philadelphia quite frequently and stay in the downtown area...which I love. I enjoy going to DiBruno Brothers for all of their wonderful fresh foods! I discovered their Israeli Couscous and decided to try to make it myself. Here it is! The Israeli Couscous is actually a pasta that is small and round like little pearls. We love this and enjoy it a lot in the summer with grilled fish or grilled chicken.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup israeli couscous
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup almonds, toasted (slices or slivers)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/4 cup dried apricot, cut into quarters
basil (whichever you prefer) or cilantro leaf (whichever you prefer)

Steps:

  • Saute couscous in oil for a minute or two. Add curry, salt and pepper. Toast for a minute or two. Add water and bring to a boil - reduce heat and simmer 10 min covered.
  • Add remaining ingredients except for basil (or cilantro) and almonds. Stir those in just before serving. I just throw in a handful of basil or cilantro. I mostly use the basil in the summer when I grow it and cilantro in the winter that I purchase at the store.
  • I toast my almonds in a dry pan on the stove top just until fragrant.

  • Prepare the dressing: Add the oil, garlic, Dijon and honey to a small bowl or a mason jar. Add in ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, a scant ½ teaspoon zest, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and generous pinch of pepper. Whisk until well combined. If using a mason jar, add the lid and seal. Shake the jar until well combined.
  • Infuse oil: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and 1 heaping tablespoon of lemon zest. Let the flavors infuse and sweat the vegetables, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Cook couscous: Stir in the couscous and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the couscous is lightly toasted and fragrant. Add in the stock and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid simmer, then immediately reduce heat to a low. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the couscous is tender, and liquid is almost all absorbed. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in tomato oil & cover: Remove cover from couscous. Add the 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil and stir to combine. Replace cover and set aside (off heat), for about 3-5 minutes, until liquid is completely evaporated. The couscous should be tender, and the mixture should be fluffy, not soupy. Season couscous to taste with salt and pepper; fluff with a fork. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl.
