Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Couscous Recipe

 

I've recently been making couscous a lot and this is the simplest recipe I use on the net.

 

Simple and quick couscous is flavored with sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, and basil. This dish may be served hot or at room temperature. Use store-bought vinaigrette or make your own.

 

Prep Time: 10 minutes

 

Cook Time: 5 minutes

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic powder
  • 1 package (10 ounces) plain couscous
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (preferably oil-packed), drained and diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (scallions), tops included
  • 2 Tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

 

Preparation:

 

  1. Heat water to boiling and stir in garlic powder. 
  2. Place couscous in a large heat-proof bowl.
  3. Stir in garlic broth, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Fluff with a fork and gently stir in sun-dried tomatoes, onions, basil and some extra virgin olive oil.  
  5. If I'm having it cold, I tend to add some balsamic vinegar.  
  6. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 
  7. Fluff again with a fork and serve hot or at room temperature.
