Delicious Walnut Couscous

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • boiling water
  • 1/3 cup organic instant couscous (plain)
  • 2 -3 tablespoons organic dried mixed vegetables (carrots, spinach, and tomatoes are all good)
  • 1/4 cup chopped organic walnuts
  • seasoning

Instructions

  1. Pour boiling water into glass measuring cup: I find that a little less than 1/3 cup works best for this amount of couscous, but I like it pretty dry. If you like your couscous moister, use a full 1/3 cup.
  2. Immediately add couscous and veggies.
  3. Cover measuring cup tightly (I use a folded paper towel and a small bowl which fits nicely inside the top of the cup to seal in the steam).
  4. Let sit for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove cover and stir in walnuts; season to taste, and eat it while it's hot! I just eat it right out of the measuring cup. :).
