Turkish Couscous


By Chow Times (Visit website)



Couscous is a traditional staple of North Africa. It is also popular in parts of the Middle East. Jorge made a Turkish Couscous to complement the Pan Roasted Cilantro-Mint Marinated Chicken Thighs.



Couscous is a grain dish made by rolling and shaping moistened semolina wheat and coating them with finely ground wheat flour. This is a great substitute for rice. It cooks very quickly.


Ingredients



5 cups quick couscous
5 cups water or stock
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups diced tomatoes
2 cups cooked peas
2 cups raisins or dried cranberries (soaked and drained)
1 mango (optional)
salt and pepper

Prep time: 20 minutes;  Cook time: 20 minutes;  Yield 12 servings
