ISRAELI (PEARL) COUSCOUS



Israeli (Pearl) Couscous image

I travel to Philadelphia quite frequently and stay in the downtown area...which I love. I enjoy going to DiBruno Brothers for all of their wonderful fresh foods! I discovered their Israeli Couscous and decided to try to make it myself. Here it is! The Israeli Couscous is actually a pasta that is small and round like little pearls. We love this and enjoy it a lot in the summer with grilled fish or grilled chicken.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup israeli couscous
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup almonds, toasted (slices or slivers)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/4 cup dried apricot, cut into quarters
basil (whichever you prefer) or cilantro leaf (whichever you prefer)

Steps:

  • Saute couscous in oil for a minute or two. Add curry, salt and pepper. Toast for a minute or two. Add water and bring to a boil - reduce heat and simmer 10 min covered.
  • Add remaining ingredients except for basil (or cilantro) and almonds. Stir those in just before serving. I just throw in a handful of basil or cilantro. I mostly use the basil in the summer when I grow it and cilantro in the winter that I purchase at the store.
  • I toast my almonds in a dry pan on the stove top just until fragrant.

PEARL (ISRAELI) COUSCOUS WITH GARAM MASALA AND PINE NUTS



Pearl (Israeli) Couscous With Garam Masala and Pine Nuts image

Pearl (Israeli) couscous is more like barley in texture, and takes a little longer to cook. Look for it in the ethnic section, or in the pasta section of larger supermarkets. Try to find the "instant" kind, that cooks it 10 minutes. If you can't find it, you may have to add more liquid and cook longer. This one has a touch of East Indian spices. Good with grilled salmon or pork tenderloin. There are as many variations of Garam Masala (spice mix) as there are cooks :). I like mine with a tad more cinnamon than some. There are several recipes here on 'Zaar, or you can buy it in specialty shops or larger supermarkets.
