COUSCOUS WITH GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES AND LOADS OF HERBS



Couscous with Grilled Summer Vegetables and Loads of Herbs image

This couscous recipe is quite different from the norm because instead of boiling or steaming the couscous you just feed it from ray with a really tasty dressing. This means it keeps a slight bite which I think is mote interesting for salad.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 ounces couscous
1/2 pint cold water
3 red peppers
1 handful asparagus, trimmed and peeled if necessary
2 or 3 small firm patty pan squash
1 small bunch spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
2 to 4 fresh red chilies, seeded and finely sliced
3 good handfuls mixed fresh herbs (best are coriander, mint, flat leaf parsley)
1 recipe olive oil and lemon juice dressing, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons best quality olive oil
1 level teaspoon salt
1 level teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the couscous in a bowl with the cold water. This will start to soften the couscous and you will see the water disappear as its soaks in. While the couscous is softening, we need to blacken the peppers. I do this by placing the peppers directly on the naked flame of my gas burner. If you don't have gas, then blacken under the grill. Both ways you need to blacken the peppers on all sides, so turn when need be. When fully blackened, place in a sandwich bag, wrap in plastic wrap or cover in a bowl for 5 minutes until cool. This will steam the skins and make peeling and deseeding easier. Remove the skins and seeds and roughly chop. On a very hot ridged grill pan, lightly char the asparagus and patty pans on both sides then toss them into the bowl of couscous with the peppers, spring onions, chilies and torn or chopped herbs. Mix well. Add the olive oil and lemon juice dressing and toss well. Finally, taste and season with salt and pepper and a couple of dribbles of red wine vinegar for a slight twang. It's a beautiful thing.
  • Mix together all the ingredients

GROUND TURKEY ENCHILADA STIR-FRY WITH COUSCOUS



Ground Turkey Enchilada Stir-Fry with Couscous image

An enchilada, by definition, is a corn tortilla filled with various ingredients and drenched in cheese and sauce. This recipe doesn't involve any rolling of tortillas, nor does it require copious amounts of cheese. However, every bite will remind you of the flavors of this popular comfort food.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
1 pound lean ground turkey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup broccoli florets
One 15-ounce can no-sodium-added black beans
One 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
1/2 cup salsa
Suggested toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, lime juice

Steps:

  • Pour 1/2 cup of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the couscous into the saucepan and stir well. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, cook the ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Drain the excess fat and wipe the pan clean. Heat the oil in the same pan over high heat, then add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add the turkey, beans, enchilada sauce and salsa and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Serve with the couscous and top with suggested toppings as desired.
