GOURMET PEARL COUSCOUS SALAD WITH VEGETABLES AND CASHEW NUTS AND
Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a 'toasted pasta specialty'. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method - just like rice - and you can also use it in a variety of dishes - just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. You'll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6.
