Summer Couscous Time: 15 minutes
Couscous is not a grain but a tiny semolina 'pasta'. What is normally available is a pre-cooked product to which we just add boiling water or stock... making it very quick, perfect for summer, or early fall, cooking
1/2 cup couscous
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped zucchini (courgette)
2 tbs snipped chives
5 - 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tsp olive oil - the good stuff
Heat chicken broth to a boil. Chop pepper and courgette, snip chives and halve tomatoes. Put couscous, pepper and courgette in a medium bowl. When broth is boiling pour over couscous, cover and let stand for 10 minutes... Do not stir it. Uncover, add chives, tomatoes and oil to couscous, fluff gently with a fork to combine and serve.
