Couscous Recipes

A double-hitter: Each portion has almost two servings of vegetables.

This salmon dinner is worthy of a restaurant. Only you will know you're doing something great for your heart in every bite!

Other veggies, like broccoli, corn or peas would make a great addition to this easy meal. Make any substitutions to fit your family's taste.

This couscous is fast, easy and the veggies are interchangable to whatever you have on hand.

This is a recipe from smittenkitchen.com I altered.

A simple but hearty vegetarian dish with the tang of balsamic vinegar and goat cheese over couscous.

By Fiona Haynes, About.com Guide

This looked really good, & I thought it would be a nice change from my regular chickpea salads...

A beautiful blend of color! Couscous, black beans, edamame, tomato, zucchini and feta.

A cold vegetable side dish with lots of protein. There's no cumin like most salads of this type, it relies mainly on the flavor of the fresh herbs.

Vegan, gluten free, and very, very hot.

This is a recipe from the South Beach Diet book. Although I am no longer on the diet i still eat this all the time because it is so simple and absolutely delicious!

I had never purchased a leek before making this recipe and I already am craving it again. What I love about SparkPeople meal plans is the concept of combining foods in units so that I can make nearly anything and know as I'm making it that it will be within the range of my assigned meal plan if I just use the right building blocks. I made up this recipe but I'm sure that a recipe just like it exists somewhere in the world, the flavors are made for one another.

Makes 8 one cup servings

This is a great alternative to a traditional pasta salad. I estimated on amounts and serving size, as I tend to not measure and use a heavy hand with veggies additions. Tastes great cold and looks great on display (very colorful!).

Curried Chickpeas and Zucchini with Cous-Cous

2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small zucchini, sliced
2 small tomatoes, chopped
2 cups cooked chickpeas
2/3 cup raisins
1 cup cous-cous
1 1/2 cups reserved liquid from cooking chickpeas

"Dry fry" the spices a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add the onion
and garlic and saute in as much of your favorite saute liquid as
necessary to keep them from sticking. (I use reserved liquid from
cooking chickpeas.) When onions are translucent, add the zucchini. Cover
and cook a few minutes, steaming the zucchini somewhat. Add the
chickpeas, tomatoes, and raisins. Cook until the veggies are done to
your satisfaction.

I was browsing through recipes on Spark and took the parts that I liked from different recipes to come up with this on my own! I used what I had available but I would have loved to use more tomatoes if I had them!
