I love couscous, but I could keep eating it serving after serving after serving.
So, as a compromise, I came up with the following side dish- Spinach Couscous. You still get all of the couscous goodness, but some of the serving is now a veggie which fills you up more.
Boil 2 cups of water. Add a chicken boullion cube or chicken base, or just use chicken broth.
Drop in a package of frozen chopped spinach.
Once the water is boiling and the spinach is no longer frozen, add a cup of couscous. Turn off heat and cover.
After 5 minutes, stir and fluff. Viola!
Now, I like my couscous more on the wet side. If you prefer a drier dish, simply decrease the water.
Nice... and Popeye is happy too!
