Created this delicious recipe because I didn't want to prepare the couscous by itself. As always, I used sodium free chicken broth packets mixed with water and Mrs. Dash. I also used homemade peas. So if you use canned...use low sodium and be sure to drain and rinse them. Ingredients:
2 cups of whole grain whole wheat couscous |
1 1/2-2 cups of sodium free chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, cut into small pieces |
1 cup carrot, diced small |
1 small red onion, diced small |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced small |
1 -2 tablespoon light margarine |
1 cup of homemade chickpeas |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon mrs. dash table blend seasoning |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Steam Broccoli and Carrot, set aside.
2. Heat Margarine, in a stock pot over medium high heat.
3. Add the onion, pepper and onion. Saute for 3 minutes.
4. Add seasonings to the vegetables and stir to combine.
5. Add broth and bring mixture to a boil.
6. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove the pot from the heat.
7. Let stand for 5 minutes.
8. Add the vegetables and peas. Stir to combine.
