Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup shelled pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cup couscous
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and diced
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • In a dry, non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to watch them closely as they can burn quickly once they get hot. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cup water to a boil. Stir in the couscous, olive oil and kosher salt, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped green onion, and pine nuts. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.

Super Easy. Couscous turns out a pretty orange color in the tomato oil. Could replace chicken with tender beef or pork strips.

5 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato (in oil)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced
1 1/2 cups water (or broth, or water or white wine mix)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh sun-dried tomatoes, flavorful herbs, and a good quality olive oil will make all the difference in the taste of your couscous.
  • Toast the couscous before cooking: This will give it a slightly nutty flavor and help to prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Chicken or vegetable broth will add a lot of flavor to the couscous. If you don't have any broth on hand, you can use water, but be sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overcook the couscous: It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Let the couscous rest before serving: This will allow it to absorb all of the flavors from the other ingredients.
