how to prepare
For the couscous: Mix all the ingredients except the couscous in a saucepan and stir well until combined. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir in the couscous. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let sit until couscous is cooked, about 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and cool to room temperature. For the pan-seared vegetables: Spray a nonstick skillet lightly with vegetable spray. Heat the skillet over very high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Sauté the vegetables until browned in spots, stirring frequently. (Note: this step is essential to the final flavor). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Mix the cooled vegetables with 2 cups of the prepared couscous. Copyright © 2006 by Paul Prudhomme |
