Ok, so I have been posting a lot of sweets recently, thus I thought I'd do a more healthy post. So here it is,
Couscous is fairly new in my life, I've only been acquainted for a couple of years. And, compared to pasta and rice, it is so easy to prepare.
For this creation, I chose a salad, it is super easy and tastes great. I hope you enjoy:
RECIPE
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Yield: 6 - 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 large or 2 small zucchini, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bunch freah basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Toss chickpeas, zucchini, onions, and garlic, and half of the basil with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons of balsamic. Salt and pepper to taste then bake for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
- While that is in, bring water to a boil and add couscous. Cover and remove from heat and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.

doesn't look like a 'sweets' is going to make it today. But, don't worry, I have a strong suspicion I'll have at least one tomorrow
I like the couscous - it can't be sweets and icing sugar all over the blog :)
