Here is an easy, quick way to add flavor to plain couscous. The red wine gives the couscous a pretty, reddish-purple color, but feel free to use white wine if you prefer it. Ingredients:
1 -2 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional) |
1 cup couscous, uncooked |
2 tablespoons capers |
1/2 cup red wine |
3/4 cup water |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine garlic and olive oil in small saucepan with tight-fitting lid. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Cook briefly over medium heat, until garlic becomes fragrant.
2. Add couscous to pan. Saute over medium heat until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Add capers, red wine, and water. Season with salt and pepper to paste.
4. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover and remove from heat; let stand 4-5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
