My Couscous Salad image

I made this up one day then mom decided she needed the recipe. So here it is in print. It's a beautiful dish. Feel free to substitute different spices for the curry powder - just please tell me what you used & how it turned out! I substituted ras el hanout & it was yummy. Can be made vegan by using 2TB olive oil & eliminating the butter.

Time 12m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup couscous
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Melt butter with the oil in large saucepan.
  • Saute onion briefly. Add salt, dried cranberries & curry powder. Cook, stirring, until onions are softened.
  • Add broth & bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat. Cover & let stand 5 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach, cover & let stand additional 2 minutes. This wilts the spinach but doesn't cook it.
  • Fluff with a fork & enjoy.
