Doesn't this look delicious? I'm on a health kick now post-baby, and have never had couscous in my life. It's pretty good, and surprisingly easy to make! I found this recipe in a RealSimple magazine, and it can be altered to have shrimp in it as well for all you seafood lovers out there. Yuck! ;)
A few of you may remember the talented Fritha from Tigerlily Quinn , as I interviewed her a few weeks back on the blog. She so generously has offered up the perfect little collection of curious gifts from her Etsy shop - Moonbeatle ! I am in love with everything she creates, especially the brand new hand-painted kids tees... aren't they perfect? Complete with prints, tea towels, plates and a tee for the little one in your life, this is the perfect gift set (maybe even in time for Valentine's Day!) Here's what one lucky Diapers & Skinny Jeans reader will receive: 1. One illustrated Trailer Park Love tea towel , perfect with your morning cup of tea, or to decorate your kitchen. Winner will choose their preferred style - valued at $16 2. The sweetest hand-illustrated plate , just in time for Valentine's Day. Before Fritha, I never knew that an octopus has three hearts! - valued at $12 3 . An A4 size, unframed ink illustration of Moonbeatle...
This looks delicious and I have most of the ingredients in my garden :) But I never try lemony recipes because I'm afraid it will be too overpowering for savory food. Thoughts??
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely pretty lemony, but the basil and cherry tomatoes evened it out with a 'fresh' taste. Couscous is pretty bland anyway in my opinion, so I thought the flavors worked well together! :D
ReplyDeletegood modifiers for couscous (i LOVE couscous): feta cheese, parmesan, cut up squash, tiny dried dates (very mediterranean... very "in"), parsley, your favorite seasoning... golden raisins, chick peas (SO good with the dates!), cucumbers (great for summer salads)
ReplyDeletei could really keep going. there's nothing that doesn't go well with couscous. fer realz.
Ooh, I like the squash idea. Chris and I have couscous as a side with a lot of dinners... but by itself or with a little seasoning I think it's still kind of boring. Imma try one of these ideas instead.
