Recipe of the Week: Mediterranean Couscous
This may not be as authentic as the couscous you would get where people are really Mediterranean, but this is a quick and delicious meal that I wanted to share. I originally got this recipe from my friend, Jessica, and it’s in our regular rotation as long as we have fresh basil growing somewhere.
Mediterranean Couscous
1 box couscous (I use the Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat-Garlic with Flax Seed)
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
about 3 cups chopped cooked chicken (like 2 breasts, or use some leftovers)
about 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 (4 oz.) pkg. crumbled feta cheese
about 2/3-3/4 of a pint of grape tomatoes, halved
juice of half a lemon
some grated lemon rind from that half a lemon
about 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Prepare couscous on stove with broth according to package directions. Stir prepared couscous with remaining ingredients in large bowl. That’s it!
MMMMM…I was just thinking about that recipe this weekend…we haven’t had it in a while. It is a GREAT summer dish! Glad to see you enjoy it!
This recipe sounds FANTASTIC! I love couscous… and tomatoes… and basil… :) We will definitely be trying this soon! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds soo GOOD!! Jessica and I lived together during our time at A&M, so I found your blog through hers. I can’t wait to get the ingredients that I don’t already have and try it out.
Have a wonderful day!!
