How on earth did I acumulate so much rice, pasta and grains? Will take months to go through it all. Made fried rice yesterday and have enough for lunches all week.
Anyone have a good recipe for couscous? So far bland and sticky is all I have to say for it, and I still need to eat half the package...
Cook it with broth for more flavor, I like it plain with butter though... if it's sticky you may not have let it cook long enough? It should dry out and be quite fluffy.
I agree, couscous shouldn't be sticky. Maybe too much water? My approach to cooking it is to add boiling water (quantity as per package directions) then cover it and let it sit until all the water is absorbed.
I also like couscous plain, with butter (margarine) and a little salt. But yes, it is bland.
Just like plain rice, it does a nice job accompanying a spicy, flavourful chili, or some kind of curry.
I also sometimes make it, let it cool, then add chopped cucumber, tomato, feta, and a little Italian dressing to make a couscous salad. Feta makes everything bettah!
