Best Whole Wheat Couscous With Plums Goat Cheese And Fresh Mint Recipes
WHOLE WHEAT COUSCOUS WITH PLUMS, GOAT CHEESE AND FRESH MINT
Delightful mix of flavors from Prevention magazine. Although I submitted the cooking directions for the couscous as given, please check the directions on your particular package. The cooking directions on my box were different so I followed the package instructions, rather than the recipe, for cooking the couscous. The balsamic vinegar does darken the dish, so use white balsamic if you prefer. I have never used it, though, so I am unsure what taste difference there would be.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or non-stick wok. Fry the leeks and garlic on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes to soften, then add the salt and preserved lemon, and stir to combine. Tip in the Israeli couscous and continue frying for another 2 minutes or until the little couscous balls start to go golden.
- Add half the boiling water and the peas. Boil until most of the water has soaked in, then add the rest of the water and cook on a high heat until it has also been sucked up by the couscous.
- Remove from the heat, add the mint and parsley and stir well. Finally crumble the goats' cheese all over and serve.
WHOLE-WHEAT COUSCOUS WITH ALMONDS
Using whole-wheat couscous adds fiber to this side dish. Serving it at room temperature, rather than chilled, allows the flavors to come through.
