Couscous makes such a very good accompaniment to a meal that I have been collecting recipes of many variations. Couscous is easy to make; just let it stand in hot water. Cooking time is actually standing time. I have not yet tried this recipe but am posting the recipe here for safekeeping. Ingredients:
2 cups water (could use chicken stock or vegetable stock) |
1 cup couscous |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 shallot, minced |
1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley |
1 tablesspoon fresh tarragon |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add couscous and return to a boil. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Saute shallot, parsley, tarragon, salt and pepper until shallow is translucent.
3. Stir herbs into pot of couscous. Cover and keep warm.
4. Refresh couscous by stirring in a bit of water (or broth) along with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
