Kale n' Couscous
This was one of those weeks were I wanted something quick and easy to make for lunch and so I decided to go with couscous, which is great when you're working on a tight schedule as the prep time is low. Also, it goes a long way when you're feeding more than one person.
Tools
cutting board
knife
medium size cooking pot
Ingredients
2 handful's of kale
1/2 c dry wheat couscous
10 sm heirloom tomatoes
1/2 c white onion
1/2 can garbanzo beans
1 tsp margarine
4 sprigs of fresh sage
1 tsp thyme
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
While prepping the water to steam the couscous, I added in the onion and kale. I threw that in immediately with the margarine, because I wanted the onion and kale to steam a bit longer. Once the water was boiling, I added the couscous, garbanzo beans, sage, thyme, and other spices. I turned off the heat and allowed all of the ingredients to steam.
Once a couple minutes passed by, I added the tomatoes. Again, I detest squishy tomatoes, which is why I saved them for that last.
All total, this recipe takes about 10 minutes, which is great when you have to be out the door in a hurry. And serves about 4.
