Categories     Side Dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup shelled pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cup couscous
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and diced
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • In a dry, non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to watch them closely as they can burn quickly once they get hot. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cup water to a boil. Stir in the couscous, olive oil and kosher salt, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped green onion, and pine nuts. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PECAN COUSCOUS WITH SUN DRIED TOMATOES AND MUSHROOMS



Roasted Pecan Couscous with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Mushrooms image

Roasted pecans, sauteed onion, mushrooms, and garlic marry beautifully with Parmesan, sun-dried tomato pesto, and couscous. If you wish, stir in cooked chicken and more veggies to make it a complete meal. I regularly add shelled edamame for a boost of meatless protein.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅔ cup pecan pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 ½ cups quartered fresh button mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons butter
1 ¼ cups water
1 (5.8 ounce) box couscous
1 (8.5 ounce) bottle sun-dried tomato pesto
⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Spread the pecan pieces onto a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to begin roasting the pecans. Roast until aromatic, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the melted butter until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the heat. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Stir the water into the butter; bring to a boil. Put the couscous in a glass bowl; pour the butter and water mixture over the couscous. Immediately cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit until the couscous absorbs all of the moisture, 7 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir the toasted pecans, the mushroom mixture, the pesto, and Parmesan cheese through the couscous. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

A delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats, but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing! I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight!
