PERFECT COUSCOUS



Perfect Couscous image

Couscous is made from tiny steamed balls of semolina flour. Though we think of it as a grain, it's actually a type of pasta.

Categories     Vegetables & Sides

Time 10m

Yield 4 - 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1¾ cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth (or water)
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1½ cups (10 oz) couscous

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water (or broth), salt, butter, and oil to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover tightly with a lid, and remove from heat. Let the couscous steam for 5 minutes. Use a fork to fluff the couscous and break up any clumps. Serve warm.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The couscous can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, reheat it in the microwave until hot.

PERFECT COUSCOUS



Perfect Couscous image

Couscous isn't a grain, as some people may think - it's actually a type of pasta made from durum wheat and shaped like a grain. The couscous you have in your pantry is most likely instant couscous that's been steamed and dried so it cooks very quickly, for a fast and easy side dish or base for a salad or bowl. Look for whole wheat couscous in your supermarket; it cooks in the same time as the regular variety and has all the virtues of whole wheat pasta. This recipe makes a big batch for make-ahead meal prep but is easily halved.

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups water or low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups regular or whole wheat couscous

Steps:

  • Combine the water or broth, olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous and immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous thoroughly with a fork (the more you fluff, the more separate and light the grains will be). Season with salt and pepper. If you are making the couscous ahead, spread while hot on a baking sheet lined with parchment to stop the cooking as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

COUSCOUS



Couscous image

Pierre Franey brought this easy couscous recipe to The Times back in 1985. "Cooks need only combine the couscous with a broth or water, bring it to a boil and let it stand five minutes," he wrote. His version, ready in minutes on a harried weeknight, adds a bit of butter and is a perfect pairing for merguez sausages.

GOURMET PEARL COUSCOUS SALAD WITH VEGETABLES AND CASHEW NUTS AND



Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and image

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.

16 BEST COUSCOUS RECIPES FOR CREATIVE MEALS & SIDES | KITCHN

From thekitchn.com
  • One-Skillet Chicken Thighs with Pearl Couscous and Eggplant Recipe. This one-skillet dish features crispy chicken thighs, pearl couscous, and eggplant simmered in a flavorful tomato base.
  • Israeli Couscous Salad with Feta, Chickpeas, and Herbs. Since this colorful salad is filled with chickpeas, it's got enough protein in it to act as a meatless main dish for dinner or a satisfying lunch.
  • One-Pot Smoked Almond and Herb Couscous. This recipe will show you that it only takes a few basic pantry ingredients to give a plain pot of couscous a punch of flavor and texture.
  • Herbed Couscous & Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes. When good tomatoes are out of season I love to swap in a rainbow of bell peppers, zucchini, or even delicata squash.
  • Honey Harissa Chicken and Chickpeas! While serving this sweet and spicy chicken over couscous is technically optional, it's well worth it because the couscous soaks up lots of the flavorful sauce.
  • Couscous Salad with Butternut Squash and Cranberries. This salad has become a regular in my meal plan roster. It can play side dish or main course, and it makes a lot, which means I have lunch for a couple days to come.
  • Minted Summer Couscous with Watermelon and Feta. Watermelon and feta are a classic combination and really are so good here in this salad. However, know that cantaloupe and honeydew melon are great substitutions.
  • Couscous Salad with Cucumber, Red Onion & Herbs. This is one of my favorite couscous recipes to pair with fish. A mess of fresh herbs keeps it light, while cucumbers and wispy red onion add a nice crunch.
  • Roasted Shrimp and Pea Couscous Salad. This is a quick and easy dinner salad that you'll look forward to diving into. Israeli couscous takes just about 10 minutes to cook up, and while it does you can roast the shrimp and peas all on one sheet pan in the oven.
  • Pine Nut & Scallion Couscous. A simple trio of softened scallions, pine nuts, and golden raisins boost a basic bowl of couscous with extra flavor and texture.
