Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup couscous, preferably whole wheat
1 natural, salt-free vegetable bouillon cube
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 tablespoons fragrant nut oil (such as walnut) or flaxseed oil
1/2 cup chopped cashews
1 teaspoon good-quality curry powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup raisins, dried cherries, or dried cranberries
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the couscous with 2 cups water and the bouillon cube in a wide skillet or stir-fry pan. Bring to a simmer, then cover and let stand off the heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, stir together well, then cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve at once.
  • Menu Suggestions
  • An Indian-style legume or vegetable dish goes well with this easy grain preparation. Just ahead in this chapter, you'll find Chana Masala (page 99), a curried chickpea dish. Add a salad of diced tomatoes and cucumbers (with chopped fresh dill or cilantro, if you'd like) in a creamy vegan dressing, and pass around some chutney (store-bought or Apricot Chutney, page 225).
  • This also teams well with earthy lentil dishes like Stewed Lentils with Soy Sausage (page 108) or Lentils with Greens and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (page 111). The tomato and cucumber salad described above will complement this meal as well.
  • See the menu with Black and White Beans with Citrus and Mint (page 102).
