This dish is served at our cafe at work. The chef was kind enough to share the recipe. It makes a great summer lunch for vegans or side dish for others. I use orange juice for the liquid to give the couscous a more flavor. This will last several days in the refrigerator. Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat couscous |
1 cup boiling water or 1 cup orange juice |
1 small red apple, diced small |
1 small green apple, diced small |
1 stalk celery |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 cup red onion, diced small |
1 cup raisins, no sugar |
1 lemon |
Directions:
1. Bring OJ or water to a boil in the microwave. Put couscous in a bowl and pour boiling liquid over it. Stir. Put Plastic wrap tightly over the bowl and put back in the microwave.
2. Chop apple and squeeze lemon over it and mix.
3. Chop celery, walnuts and onion. Add to apples and toss.
4. Chop walnuts and add to the mix.
5. Fluff couscous with a fork. Add apple mix and raisins. Mix thouroughly.
6. Let sit for an hour or overnight before serving.
