BASIC COUSCOUS
Couscous is extremely simple and fast to make, and a great pantry standby. Whip this up next time you need to add a quick starch to your meal. The general rule is 1 cup of dry couscous to 1½ cups of water. You can use stock for extra flavor. Unless your doctor has put you on a low fiber diet, we recommend using whole wheat couscous.

16 BEST COUSCOUS RECIPES FOR CREATIVE MEALS & SIDES | KITCHN
From thekitchn.com
- One-Skillet Chicken Thighs with Pearl Couscous and Eggplant Recipe. This one-skillet dish features crispy chicken thighs, pearl couscous, and eggplant simmered in a flavorful tomato base.
- Israeli Couscous Salad with Feta, Chickpeas, and Herbs. Since this colorful salad is filled with chickpeas, it's got enough protein in it to act as a meatless main dish for dinner or a satisfying lunch.
- One-Pot Smoked Almond and Herb Couscous. This recipe will show you that it only takes a few basic pantry ingredients to give a plain pot of couscous a punch of flavor and texture.
- Herbed Couscous & Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes. When good tomatoes are out of season I love to swap in a rainbow of bell peppers, zucchini, or even delicata squash.
- Honey Harissa Chicken and Chickpeas! While serving this sweet and spicy chicken over couscous is technically optional, it's well worth it because the couscous soaks up lots of the flavorful sauce.
- Couscous Salad with Butternut Squash and Cranberries. This salad has become a regular in my meal plan roster. It can play side dish or main course, and it makes a lot, which means I have lunch for a couple days to come.
- Minted Summer Couscous with Watermelon and Feta. Watermelon and feta are a classic combination and really are so good here in this salad. However, know that cantaloupe and honeydew melon are great substitutions.
