FOOD INSPIRATION DURING THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS
What I love about cooking is that it is so forgiving. You can always add a little more of a little less of an ingredient or tweak a recipe so that it includes a favorite food or spice. This is true of the recipe listed below. Don't worry if you don't have the exact ingredients.
It takes about a 1/2 hour to prepare. Most of the time is for sauteing the onions at low heat so that they are soft & sweet. I often make couscous with veggies for lunch. You can refrigerate or freeze extra portions. It's pretty simple to make, and it's good for you. Ingredients: 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1/2 red pepper, chopped 1 tomato, chopped; or 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes 3 cloves garlic, minced or chopped 1 TBS lemon juice 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1/2 cup dried couscous Steps: 1) Saute onions -heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat -add the chopped onions & cook these for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally so they don't brown 2) Make couscous -in a saucepan boil 3/4 c water -add 3/4 c dry couscous -stir well -remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes 3) Saute other veggies -add red pepper to onions; cook for 5 minutes on low heat -add garlic and stir for 30 seconds -add spinach & cover pot for a few minutes until spinach starts to wilt -stir veggies so that spinach leaves melt into the other veggies 4) Mix everything together -stir in lemon juice & oregano -stir in couscous and serve
