Israeli Couscous Recipes

From "Fresh from the vegetarian slow cooker" by Robin Robertson

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.

This is a flavor sensation!

Modified from Cuisine

This is the version of the Trader Joe's recipe that I use. There is less fat and sodium (using less butter, almonds instead of pine nuts, and low-sodium salt and chicken broth), and more fiber with using whole wheat couscous. I also rarely have shallots on hand, so substituted onions with a few shakes of ginger. My family likes cilantro so I used that instead of parsley.

Israeli couscous cooked in chicken stock, with onions and pecans

Nice side dish or light veggie dinner. Can add aspargus, snap peas, broccoli, whatever is in season!

Delightfully flavoful and easy to prepare

Just like Max Brenner's

Israeli Couscous is a larger form of the couscous you may be familiar with. I find it in our local "Bulk Barn". This is a lovely side dish in the summer. Feel free to add fresh parsley or mint instead of cilantro if you prefer. Delicious!

Craving Mom's chicken and rice? Try this dish for old fashioned flavor and more health benefits.

Israeli Couscous with feta, pine nuts, and chicken

This flavorful high-protein, low-fat recipe is from the January 2009 issue Martha Stewart Living magazine. "Heart-healthy olive oil enhances the body's ability to absorb lycopene, a potent antioxidant that's abundant in tomatoes."

Be sure to get "Israeli couscous" for this recipe. It is much larger in size and is pretoasted.

If you are looking for a more substantial meal you may want to add shredded turkey breast. Just be sure to add this into your calories as it is not included in this count.

What a delicious and fantastically healthy meal! It's so quick and easy, but it tastes gourmet.

This is really much more than a salad....it's a great vegetarian meal that will make you say "oh my god, this is soooooo good!"

Lovely Cold Summer Salad to enjoy at BBQs

delicious and unique side for any chicken or fish dish-- nice change from rice, quinoa or pasta! NOTE: seasonings (chives, cayenne, singapore seasoning) are NOT in tracker.
