free recipe friday: curried whole wheat couscous w. raisins & cashews
my own recipe, for those of us who love indian food but couldn’t cook it authentically to save our lives. this week: curried whole wheat couscous w. raisins & cashews! i made this to be fairly mild on purpose so that my son would have no trouble eating it (and he didn’t!), but feel free to add more curry powder for a stronger flavor. also, my husband won’t eat raisins, so when i make this for the family dinner, half of it gets raisins and cashews (for me and the spud) and the other half gets shredded chicken and cashews (for our picky meat eater). i hope you like it as much as we do!!
1 1/3cup dry whole wheat couscous
1½cups water
1Tolive oil
½tsp onion salt
1XL vegetarian bouillon cube
1½ heaping tsp madras curry powder
½cup each: cashew pieces & organic Thompson raisins
in a medium saucepan, bring the water, olive oil, onion salt, bouillon cube, and curry powder to a rolling boil. stir in the cashews, raisins, and couscous, then remove from the heat and cover with a tight fitting lid. allow to sit 5-8minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed. fluff with a fork and feast!
