This is a terrific, simple and quick side dish. I've also used this recipe to spice up a box the Near East brand flavored couscous as well. Simply use the amount of water specified on the box, and add the extra ingredients. It will still be ready in 5 minutes Ingredients:
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained |
1/4 cup chopped scallion |
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
2/3 cup couscous |
1 cup water |
1/4 pitted and sliced black olives |
1/4 cup fresh parsley |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine canned tomatoes, scallion, pepper, garlic powder, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring liquid to a boil.
3. Stir in couscous.
4. Cover pan and remove from heat.
5. Let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Remove lid and fluff couscous with fork.
7. Stir in olives and fresh parsley and serve.
