Just a quick side dish I whipped up as a complement to grape-leaf wrapped salmon I served for dinner. This is extremely easy to make, and is very flavorful.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked couscous
2 roma tomatoes, diced
2-3 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oil-cured olives, pitted and sliced
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
salt (optional)
feta, crumbled (optional)

Directions

1
Prepare the couscous (Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil).
2
Heat olive oil in a small pan to medium-high.
3
Add tomato, scallions, garlic, and olives.
4
Saute in the pan for around 3 minutes.
5
Fluff couscous with a fork.
6
Add salt to taste, mix tomato mixture with couscous and serve.
7
As an optional enhancement, you can crumble some feta cheese on the couscous right before serving.

Really good... and low calorie--yay! I added a bit more garlic than you did for more flavor, but over all this is a great recipe that I will definitely make again!

My 12 year old son liked it more than my husband! I added sliced bella mushrooms and instead of roma tomatoes I used sun-dried tomatoes.The crumbled feta was the perfect thing to top it off with. Delish!

Easy, great-tasting, and healthy! I used onions instead of scallions, and added a dash of paprika to spice it up a tad. True to its word, this was ready in 15 minutes flat! Thanks for this one; it's a great recipe to have on hand for when you're in a hurry.
