Mexican Couscous Dinner-shared from The Sweets Life
2 cups coucous
2 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cups bean(calls for black, but I'll be using red)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped(omitted)
2 ears of corn, cooked and removed from cob
1 avocado, diced
1 tomato, diced
To cook couscous: Bring water to a boil, add in coucous, stir, and cover with dishcloth for 5 mins.
Place olive oil in pan over medium heat. Add garlic and spices saute for 1-2 mins. Pour in beans and cook until heated through. Add in cilantro, stir.
Place couscous in bowl, top with beans, corn, tomatoes, and avocado. Sprinkle with lime juice
**Ok something happened with the couscous...I did not have 2 cups of couscous more like 1 3/4 but it still worked out fine. I was afraid I had too much water, but perhaps because it was whole wheat it was fine? I'd do your own research or get a container/box with instructions on it!
This was pretty tasty...and QUITE filling! We both decided though that we aren't fans of avocado...its a texture thing! We took the leftovers and made it into a soup! YUM! sorry about the picture...its not the best!

Hi Heather,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great combination. We would really enjoy this dish. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!
However in the smaller towns where mostly native Africans reside, the main meals remain starch and stew based. South Africa's most unusual meat is called Biltong. It's a spicy form of jerky, usually wind-dried, and is commonly used in traveling. This can be found not only country wide, but throughout Africa. livraison Thieb meaux
ReplyDeleteFreezing should be avoided if possible because it causes the chicken breasts to be less tender and juicy but if it will not be used within that time, it should be frozen to prevent it from perishing. Frozen Chicken Wings Wholesale
