I've come to the conclusion that there will never be nothing else to make a TV show about. Maybe nothing worth watching, but never nothing all together. Also, I'm super depressed that Borders is closing. Matt and I love Borders and this news bums us out big time. Not to mention it will just mean 2 more empty buildings, never to be used again. Darn you internet, you've ruined everything.
Anyway, I made this today for dinner.
Mediterranean Couscous
You will need:
- 1 cup Couscous
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
- handful of basil
- handful of parsley
- 1/4 cup feta (more or less, w/e you want)
- large handful of spinach
- 1 cup chopped english cucumber
- Balsamic dressing
Bring 1 1/4 cup of water to boil. Add 2 tbsp butter and 1 cup couscous. Stir, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes and fluff with fork. Move to bowl and let cool in fridge for 30 min - 1 hour.
Chop up spinach, basil, parsley, tomatoes. Cut cucumber into quarters and dice thinly.
Mixing, mixing, mixing
Chopping, chopping, chopping
Mix all ingredients together, pour 1/4 of dressing over salad and mix thoroughly. You could also add olives, peppers, red onion...If you're adding much more extras I would make a recipe and half of the couscous. This salad could easily feed 6 people though.
Let it sit for a few minutes to let the couscous soak up some of the dressing. I seared some chicken to have with this, it was crazy good and flavorful. The only thing that would have made it better is a pita.
Enjoy!
Looks great ally. If you're having leftovers I have flatbread you can brush with evoo and grill.
