Fast and Substantial: Pearl Couscous Pilaf with Dried Tomatoes
28 Mar
Pearl couscous–I always see it labeled as Israeli couscous, it’s the same thing–cooks really fast (ten minutes or less) and makes a really nice, substantial side that if you add enough veggies and some protein, it can be dinner in and of itself. Here, you sautee some onions and the couscous until toasted, then add garlic, reconstituted dried tomatoes, and olives and cover with stock, then cook until it’s all done. It’s really good this way, and even better with a bit of diced apricot thrown in.
