Couscous (semolina) is nutritious and delicious! I use instant couscous available in most supermarkets. Boil a cup of water with a tablespoon of butter and a little salt, add 1 cup of instant couscous. Remove from heat, cover for 5 mn, fluff with a fork, and it's ready to serve.... I like to serve couscous with lamb. First, brown the lamb (could be any cut of lamb) in a little olive oil, add 1 chopped onion, chicken broth to barely cover the lamb, lower the heat to medium low, add the spices as you like (1/4 teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground ginger, ground cloves, cayenne pepper, cardamon, coriander, allspice), 1 can of stewed tomatoes, , simmer for an hour or till the lamb meat is tender, season to taste with salt & pepper. Add sliced vegetables (like zucchinis, bell peppers, plum tomatoes, eggplants, okras), 1 can of low sodium garbanzo beans, drained, and simmer for another 20 mn or so, add a little orange zest.
Serve piping hot with the couscous... A simple and satisfying meal, perfect for winter!
