HERBED COUSCOUS CAKES WITH CHEESE
I am always on the lookout for unique couscous recipes. It's so easy to make but DH thinks it's bland. I saw Giada make cakes one day with the couscous so that inspired me to create my own. This was a hit with my family. I served them with sauteed mushrooms with a garlic, wine sauce and Recipe #222254 for one of the most delicious meals. One note, I always prepare the couscous in chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor but it can also be done in vegetable broth. Add more cheese/herbs or a different variety according to your tastes. I think feta and oregano would be great.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, using your hands, mix the couscous, eggs, parsley, onions, basil, cheese, lemon zest, and salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the mixture with the flour and mix again.
- Form the cakes to the size you want, I made cakes about 2" round.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and fry the cakes until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove some of the oil before plating up.
- Salt and pepper again to taste.
