Couscous for People Who Hate Couscous image

My dad used to absolutely hate couscous - Until I made it for him. Highly recommended for broadening the horizons of picky eaters - Also makes a great stuffing if you add cheese.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -10 inches celery, finely chopped
1 small white onion, finely chopped
5 -6 mushrooms, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup couscous
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground chili powder (optional)
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Once you have chopped your vegetables and ground your spices, place the couscous in a large bowl, and add all of the ground spices.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, shave some butter off the block and place in the bowl.
  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil, and pour it over the couscous. Don't stir it. Place a plate over the bowl to cover it, and set aside.
  • Melt some butter in a frypan with the garlic, and add the celery and onions. Fry until the onion starts to become soft.
  • Add a little more butter to the frypan, and add the mushrooms. Fry for about 2 minutes over medium heat until the mushroom is soft.
  • Remove the cover from the bowl of couscous, and stir it gently with a fork, being careful not to mash it.
  • Add the contents of the frypan, and stir it through gently.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
