Provided by Heidi

Categories     Side Dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup shelled pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cup couscous
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and diced

1/4 cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped green onion, and pine nuts. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.

COUSCOUS WITH OLIVES AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO



Couscous with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomato image

A delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats, but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing! I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight!

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH SUN DRIED TOMATO AND FETA



Couscous Salad with Sun Dried Tomato and Feta image

Recipe VIDEO above. A 12 minute, no cook, giant Couscous Salad with sun dried tomato, feta, rocket / arugula, herbs and the added nutty tastiness of chickpeas. My shortcut-flavour tip is to use the oil from the sun dried tomato jar as the dressing - free flavour! The flavour pops from the sun dried tomato and feta are quite intense, so this truly is satisfying to have as a meal, or as a substantial side. This makes quite a lot - serves 5 as a main, or 8 - 10 as a side. Keeps very well.

Provided by Nagi

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups dried couscous ((Note 1))
1 1/4 cups / 315 ml boiled water
1 tsp vegetable stock powder ((or 1 cube crumbled) (Note 2))

120 g / 4 oz rocket / arugula lettuce (, chopped into 5 cm / 2" pieces)
Zest of 1 large lemon
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice ((2 large lemons))
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
60 g / 2 oz feta (, crumbled)
Salt and pepper (, to taste)

Steps:

  • Place chickpeas, couscous, vegetable stock powder, coriander and garlic in a large bowl. Pour over hot water, shake to level out couscous (chickpeas should mostly settle on top). Cover with plate or cling wrap, set aside for 5 minutes.
