Balsamic Tomato Couscous

Dec 18, 2005
We had a potluck to attend where we had been asked to bring a side dish. I was craving couscous though I knew few (if any) of my friends would be willing to try it. Never mind, I moved forward! This is a slight adaptation of one I found in one of my favorite cookbooks "500 almost fat free pasta recipes." And truth be told, I brought very little home and got asked for the recipe!

- 2 cups nonfat vegetable broth or nonfat chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil

- 5 small tomatoes
Directions
1
In a medium pan, bring the broth to a boil.2

Chop the tomatoes.4
In a small bowl mix the balsamic vinegar, the oil, and the pepper. Add the tomatoes.5
When the couscous is ready add the tomato mixture and mix well.6

This was my first taste of couscous, and it was good. My son loved it! Reminded me of bruschetta. We decided we prefer it cold but it's still pretty good warm. Used dice tomatoes instead of fresh but other than that followed the recipe exactly. Served with Crab Cake Sandwiches for the traditional burger and cold salad with a twist.

We enjoyed this very much. I had fresh basil in the garden, so substituted for the dried, and since I didn't have any garlic, I used garlic powder. I used a box of pine nut couscous, and that amount equaled a half recipe, which was all I wanted to make. I used the spice pack in the box. Fresh garden tomatoes were available, and it was a delicious side dish with our roasted chicken dinner.

I cooked the tomateoes in oil and salt and pepper then added the balsamic to reduce it (making it less tangey and more sweet). Great recipe!

Very tangy and light side dish. Perfect with grilled chicken. I didn't have any fresh tomatoes so I used some fire roasted canned ones I had in the pantry. It turned out extremely well. I might cut back on some of the balsamic vinegar next time since it was quite tangy for my BF, but delicious all in all! Thanks for sharing...
