CURRIED ARTICHOKE COUSCOUS



CURRIED ARTICHOKE COUSCOUS image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box Near East Mediterranean Curry Couscous
2 tsp curry powder (hot or mild is your choice)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
quartered artichoke hearts drained
1/4 cup of mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Cook couscous according to box directions. Add cranberries just as you take it off the heat. Mix the mayo with the curry powder. Blend the couscous with the artichokes, almonds and curry mayo. If you want it creamier, simply add more mayo and curry.

Tips:

  • Use good-quality couscous. Look for couscous that is made from durum wheat and has a slightly nutty flavor. Avoid couscous that is made from white rice, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Rinse the couscous before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the couscous from becoming gummy.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use to cook the couscous will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a broth that is packed with flavor, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Add vegetables and spices to the couscous. This will help to make the couscous more flavorful and interesting. Some good vegetables to add include carrots, celery, onion, and zucchini. Some good spices to add include cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Let the couscous rest before serving. This will allow the couscous to absorb all of the flavors from the broth and vegetables. Cover the couscous with a lid and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Curried artichoke couscous is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The couscous is cooked in a flavorful broth with vegetables and spices, and then topped with artichoke hearts and a creamy curry sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
