Couscous grain is one of the easiest to cook, in terms of complexity and cooking time. The below recipe cooks in 15-20 minutes, and is a healthy alternative to frozen foods we shove down our system more often than required.
Ingredients:
For curried couscous
Couscous - 1 cup
Water - 2 cups
Chopped onions (length-wise) - 1 cup
Chopped ginger - 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Olive oil - 2 tsp
Salt to taste
For grilled veggies
Zucchini - 1 (medium), cut into medium round slices
Button mushrooms (sliced) - 1 cup
Tomato (chopped) - 1 cup
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Preparation:
Mix couscous, water, 1 tsp olive oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the bowl (loosely closed with a lid) for 4 minutes on high setting, till all the water is absorbed. The couscous should be well cooked (tastes like sooji/rava). Remove from microwave and fluff the cooked couscous with a fork. Set aside.
Take a large pan, pour 1 tsp olive oil and heat on stove top (medium). Fry the onions till golden brown and add chopped ginger. Add the cooked couscous, turmeric powder and salt to taste. Mix the ingredients well, turn off the heat, remove from stove and cover the pan with a lid.
Take another large pan, pour 1 tsp olive oil and heat on stove top (medium-high). Add zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes, and sauté them for 5 mins. Close the pan with a lid, let cook for 10 minutes, sautéing a couple of times in between. Add pepper and salt, mix the contents well, turn off heat and set aside.
Tastes best when served warm. Perfect for dinner. Bon apetit!
