Not a lot of people in this area eat couscous and they are not really familiar with it. Couscous is an itty bitty tiny pasta that literally take less than 5 minutes to make....
Here is a yummy recipe to add to your collection!
This works with steak, shrimp, chicken...
I tend to make it more often with chicken.
1 box couscous (plain is fine- the flavored ones have packets full of artificial flavoring and I don't like things like that)
Prepare the couscous according to package directions and set to the side.
1 zucchini, diced
Fresh spinach
1 red onion, diced
Can of artichoke hearts
Fresh sliced mushrooms
tsp fresh garlic
kosher salt
pepper
OK- add a little olive oil to a hot pan and just throw all these ingredients in except for the garlic... saute until done... I like my veggies to be caramelized and still a little firm... add garlic the last couple of minutes of cooking.
Take your protein of choice ( grilled chicken, shrimp, sliced steak) and cut into nice bite sized pieces...
Then just dump all those fabulous veggies and the protein into the pan with your cooked couscous and stir up!
Serve it up with a little squeeze of lemon and you have a fantastic meal that is chock full of vegetables and protein... and you get a little pasta... but not too much! Seriously... this is one of my favorite meals and I make it A LOT.
Y'all try it and post some pictures! I would love to see everyone's creativity!
