There are many variations of recipes where couscous is the main ingredient. But, unfortunately, not all housewives know what can be prepared from this cereal. But you don't need much time for these dishes, because couscous is prepared very quickly compared to other cereals.
A salad with couscous and vegetables is a healthy and satisfying dish, and most importantly, it is delicious both cold and hot. Therefore, you can safely take it with you to work or study as lunch.
Couscous has a neutral taste, which gives it a huge plus, as it can be combined with absolutely all products.
Ingredients:
Couscous - 1 glass
Canned corn - 150 gr.
Bulgarian pepper - 1 pc.
Avocado - ½ pc.
Tomato - 200 gr.
Olives - 70 gr.
Parsley, dill - bunch
Olive oil - 30 gr.
Garlic - 2 cloves
Preparation:
1. Prepare all the required ingredients according to the list.
2. Chop the tomatoes into large pieces. Cut the olives into quarters, you can use rings. For the recipe, it is best to take them pitted, as this will make cooking easier, and can also be replaced with olives. Transfer the tomatoes and chopped olives to a deep bowl, where it will be easier to stir the salad. Drain the canned corn and add to the rest of the ingredients. You can take fresh cobs, only then they will need to be baked in the oven or boiled.
3. Cut the bell pepper into large strips, having previously cleaned the inside of the seeds. If you took yellow tomatoes, then take red bell peppers for the salad. Thus, the finished dish will be more contrasting and brighter. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Cut into pieces and puree with a food processor, hand blender, or fork. Be sure to buy soft fruit. But if only hard avocados are in the store, then do not put them in the refrigerator, but put them in a paper bag along with a tomato or apple. This will ripen faster and soften. To speed up ripening, you can also bake it in the oven or use the microwave. Add mashed potatoes and bell peppers to other vegetables.
4. Pour boiled water over the couscous, add salt to taste, cover and leave for 5-10 minutes. Then stir and add butter if desired. You can also boil the cereal in a saucepan until tender. Transfer the porridge to a bowl and add the chopped garlic, dill and parsley. For dressing, combine olive oil, dry basil, black pepper, paprika and salt to taste. Then pour it over the couscous.
5. Mix well. Arrange on plates and serve.
Instead of parsley and dill, you can use garlic pods or green onion feathers.
To make the dish more satisfying, I advise you to add fried chicken fillet in spices and soy sauce.
Serve salad with couscous and vegetables is best served on white or wooden plates with a pillow of lettuce leaves.
Bon Appetit!
