Greek Couscous

 

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 cup water
  • ⅔ cup diced peppers
  • ½ cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • ⅔ cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 2-3 Tbsp juices/oils from tomatoes and olives
  • 4oz crumbled feta cheese
  • generous sprinkle of parsley
  1. Prepare couscous as directed on the package. (Mine says to boil the water, add couscous, stir quickly & remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes). I skipped on both the butter and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, mix peppers, tomatoes and olives together well.
  3. Add couscous and stir, breaking up the large pieces.
  4. Add the juices and/or oils from the tomatoes and olive to the couscous as needed to keep dish moist, but not wet. Couscous will absorb liquid quickly, so be generous and work fast.
  5. Once the couscous and vegetables are mixed well, add feta and stir to combine.
  6. Sprinkle parsley just before serving.
