10-Minute Couscous Recipe
10-Minute Couscous
Couscous is a tiny pasta made by rubbing raw pasta dough over a coarse strainer. The instant variety is supremely easy to prepare, and because it expands many times in size when rehydrated, it is good value per package. The fennel seeds add a mild licorice note to this side dish, which adds complexity and depth to the overall menu.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 mL) vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups (500 mL) tomato juice
- 2 cups (500 mL) instant couscous
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each paprika and fennel seeds
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground pepper
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green onions
- 1 cup (250 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges
Preparation
Bring broth and tomato juice to a boil. Place couscous, paprika, fennel seeds, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Pour boiling broth over them and cover tightly. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork.
Stir in green onions and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with lemon wedges.
Makes 6 servings.
