Curried Couscous With Broccoli And Feta And Cashews Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 1 3/4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• While couscous stands, steam broccoli florets, covered, for 3 minutes or until tender.
• Combine couscous, broccoli, onion, and next 10 ingredients (onion through chickpeas), tossing gently. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Place the couscous in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in the boiling water and pour over the couscous. Cover tightly and allow the couscous to soak for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, curry, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Pour over the fluffed couscous, and mix well with a fork. Add the carrots, parsley, currants, almonds, scallions, and red onions, mix well, and season to taste. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan stir the curry powder over medium heat until fragrant and toasted (about 1 minute).
• Add in 2-1/4 cups water with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add in veggie florets and carrots to the saucepan with the water and curry; bring to full a boil, cover and cook 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and mix in couscous; cover and let stand until the couscous softens (about 5-6 minutes).
• Transfer the couscous and veggies to a large bowl.
• Mix in garbanzo beans, oil, wine vinegar, minced fresh ginger; toss to combine.
• Cool to room temperature or chill (make certain that the couscous is completely cooled or the feta will melt).
• Add in feta cheese, green onions and toasted almonds (if using); toss to combine.
• Add in salt and pepper to taste.
• Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• To the bottom of a large serving bowl, add the orange juice, lime juice, honey, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the olive oil until the honey is dissolved. Mix in the scallions and half the chile; set aside.
• In a large lidded pot over medium-high heat, toast the couscous, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 cups of water, season with 1 tablespoon salt, cover and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain an active simmer and cook according to the lower end of the time frame on package's instructions, usually about 8 minutes. During the last 3 or 4 minutes of cooking (depending on the size of your florets), stir in the broccoli and cook until bright and tender, and the thickest parts are easily pierced with a fork. Drain, shake off excess water, then transfer to the serving bowl.
• Mix until the couscous has absorbed most of the dressing. Mix in the feta, pistachios, herbs, orange pieces and the remaining chile, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat immediately or let cool and serve at room temperature.
