Jazzed Up Couscous image

Super easy, super quick, and inexpensive, but it tastes like a million bucks! Couscous and tomatoes are combined with garlic, onions, and jack cheese! This dish smothers your tongue with flavor. Even my 13 month old loves it!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (10 ounce) box couscous
1 ½ cups boiling water
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 Roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
½ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Stir together couscous and boiling water in a large, heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the diced Roma tomatoes, and cook until the tomatoes release their juice and the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork, then fold in the tomato mixture and cheese. Serve immediately as the cheese is melting.

This recipe was a disaster. The couscous was overcooked and the flavors were all wrong.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
