Couscous Recipes

There are some things I like to eat with couscous. This is the recipe for easy-made couscous. If you're Mr. Fancy-pants, you can steam it, use Chai bags or stock to alter the flavour.

When cooking any of these, I usually have to add water during the process so that it would not start burning.
I'll start with the easiest one which makes a soft-tasting breakfast.


Olive oil
Tomatoes
Celery sticks
Paprika (optional)
Soy sauce (optional)
Dried parsley
Black pepper
Salt
Ground coriander
Eggs


Olive oil
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Black pepper
Dried parsley
Eggs
Soy sauce
Salt
Cheddar cheese (extra mature, crumbled)

 I tried arranging these in order of  going to the pan, well, more or less. As for the amount, just work it out yourselves. Usually it's 2-3 tomatoes, 3-5 celery sticks and 2-3 eggs. When you put eggs in, mix everything and make sure the eggs are cooked. The vegetables should still retain some crunchiness. Just top a plate of couscous with that or mix it in a pan and enjoy a mild-tasting meal.


Meats that go well with couscous are chicken and fish. I have another recipe that's quite easy yet very tasty.

You'll need to shallow fry some Coriander Chicken, some couscous (link to recipe above) and some probably Mexican-tasting stew:


Olive oil
Tomatoes
Green paprika
Lime
Dried chilli
Salt
Fresh parsley leaves

It's super-simple - just cut it however you want it, squeeze a half of lime over it when it's cooked for a bit, leave the rind in the pan, make it chili with chilli, salt, cut parsley and 'tadah!' But make sure everything's cooked this time.
