Couscous And Bacon Recipes
PERFECT COUSCOUS
Couscous isn't a grain, as some people may think - it's actually a type of pasta made from durum wheat and shaped like a grain. The couscous you have in your pantry is most likely instant couscous that's been steamed and dried so it cooks very quickly, for a fast and easy side dish or base for a salad or bowl. Look for whole wheat couscous in your supermarket; it cooks in the same time as the regular variety and has all the virtues of whole wheat pasta. This recipe makes a big batch for make-ahead meal prep but is easily halved.

Steps:
- Combine the water or broth, olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous and immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
- Fluff the couscous thoroughly with a fork (the more you fluff, the more separate and light the grains will be). Season with salt and pepper. If you are making the couscous ahead, spread while hot on a baking sheet lined with parchment to stop the cooking as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

CHEESY BACON PEARL COUSCOUS
This recipe is quick and easy and makes use of pearl couscous, which is a fun little pasta. I originally made this without the cheese or bacon and it was delicous that way, but my boyfriend suggested them as additions, so this recipe was born, and it is delicious either way. Use low-sodium chicken stock so you can control the amount of salt, and let your bacon get nice and crisp, it holds up to the cheesy pasta and provides some texture.

Steps:
- Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and fry until crisp in a large saucepan. Once bacon is cooked through, remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.
- Add the onion to the pan and saute until softened and translucent. Add the garlic, saute one minute more, then add the chicken stock and salt.
- Bring the stock to a simmer and add the couscous.
- Simmer, while stirring frequently, 10 minutes (or until couscous is cooked to your liking). Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the Montery Jack cheese and stir to combine. Once the cheese is melted, add the bacon, stir once more, and serve.
