We love couscous in our house. This soft grain is delicious and can be made to taste so many different ways. This version with a hint of lemon is perfect to pair with BBQ. It is easy to prepare and takes less than 20 minutes.
You will need:
1/2 cup and 1 Tablespoon couscous
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup spinach or other greens, chopped finely
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Bring the water to a boil. Place the couscous in a separate mixing bowl and stir in the olive oil. Add the boiling water to the couscous and cover with plastic wrap to seal in the steam. Leave for 15- 17 minutes. Unwrap and fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together. Fluff the couscous again and serve.
We love to serve this with steaks, ribs or with a great piece of BBQ chicken.
This looks so yummy! I'll have to try it out soon!
Yum! I can vouch that this was delicious. Also, I am craving whatever it was you fed us last time we bummed dinner off of you. Because it was delicious, too.
Wow, this looks so light and delicious! Thanks so much for sharing!
Ok, I've been hearing about couscous a lot lately. I just have to try it – will be pinning your recipe 🙂
