This is a super wild recipe in the kitchen! Very easy to prepare, healthy and delicious! It’s a complete meal for those who don’t eat meat and an amazing side dish for any protein! I make it a lot to accompany baked and grilled fish!
For those who are not used to it, the Couscous used in the recipe are small coarsely ground wheat grains that, when placed in contact with a liquid of your choice, hydrate, become soft and can be consumed, for example, instead of rice. Shall we go to the recipe?
Ingredients:
1 cup. couscous (tea);
1 cup. (tea) of boiling water;
Juice of 1/2 lemon;
3 col. olive oil (soup);
1/2 chopped onion;
2 cloves of chopped garlic;
1 chopped Italian zucchini;
1/3 cup. (tea) chopped yellow pepper;
1/3 cup. (tea) of fresh peas;
1/2 cup. (tea) tomatoes cut in half;
1 cabbage (chá) of oregano;
2 col. (soup) of fresh herbs of your choice (I used basil and thyme);
Salt and black pepper to taste.
Preparation Mode:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onion over low heat. When it wilts, add the garlic. Add the zucchini, pepper and peas. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover the pan to cook the vegetables. Don’t let them get too cooked. Add the tomatoes and stir just to heat them up. Turn off the heat, add the oregano and season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Now mix the couscous grains with boiling water, lemon juice, a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil. Cover with a tea towel to cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
Loosen the couscous grains by stirring with a fork. Mix the sautéed vegetables and add the chopped fresh herbs. You can serve it however you want, I used peppers as a “container” to give it some charm.
It’s delicious! And the best part is that it’s a super light recipe!
This stainless steel pan that I used is not only beautiful, it does not release any residue into the food, which is essential for maintaining a healthy diet.
The couscous stew cannot be overcooked, it is important that the vegetables maintain a certain texture, which is why I chose to use this pan, which, as it has 3 layers on the bottom, cooks the food very quickly and evenly. The vegetables were perfect! Not to mention that you can even save money by using low heat throughout the preparation, isn’t that great?
Also great is the promotion that is going on for this type of pan. Unmissable! Check it out by clicking here.
