This is a healthy, delicious, and easy side dish that takes about 10 minutes to make. I'm borrowing the name from Pasta Primavera which, like this recipe, takes advantage of fresh, seasonal, green produce. Ingredients:
2 cups couscous couscous |
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely diced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1 pinch ground black pepper |
2 cups vegetable stock |
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces |
1 cup shelled fresh or thawed frozen peas shelled fresh or thawed frozen peas |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine couscous, green onion, jalapeno, olive oil, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a large bowl; stir until olive oil is completely incorporated.
2. Bring vegetable stock, asparagus, and peas to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
3. Pour stock, asparagus, and peas over couscous mixture; shake bowl to settle couscous into liquid. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in mint and season with salt and pepper to taste.
