Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Cous cous, which I love, goes really well with slightly liquid stews and things like tofu with a sauce. Here are a bunch of couscous recipes for you. http://www.vegweb.com/frames/index/rice/index-rice-couscous.shtml Lady Sappho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I always have couscous on hand...I love that it fixes quick, makes for great last minute meals, side dishes, etc. Plus...those with young kids...I put it in the bowl before I give soup to my nearly two year old, then it makes the soup more of a mash and she can eat what we are eating but with out getting it all down her...well, at least not as much as a mess as a bowl of soup would make!! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Tonight is the very first time I have eaten couscous. It turned out really good the way I cooked it. I used a recipe from Veganomicon... So tasty and quick I thought I would share. Nikita Tomato Couscous with Capers 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 and 1/2 cups uncooked whole wheat or regular couscous 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon oregano 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional) Generous pinch of ground cayenne 2 tablespoons small capers, drained of brine (if using large capers, chop coarsley) In a medium-size bowl strain the juice from the diced tomatoes to measure 1 and 1/2 cups of juice, squeezing the diced tomatoes as much as possible to remove thier excess liquids. Disguard any remaing juice; if not enough juice is available to total 1 and 1/2 cups, add either veggie broth or water. Gently crush any large peices of tomato and set aside. Combine the juice, olive oil, and oregano in a medium-sized sauce pan. Cover and heat to medium-high, to bring to a boil. Stir continuously as you pour in the couscous in a steady stream. Quickly stir in the salt, cayenne, and cloves. Stir to combine, turn off heat, cover the pan, and allow to sit for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is completely absorbed. Fold in the reserved diced tomatoes and capers, cover again and allow it to sit 2 to 3 minutes to warm the tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
