ISRAELI COUSCOUS AND CHEESE

Since Israeli couscous is nothing more than tiny balls of lightly toasted pasta dough, it works well in this macaroni-n-cheese style dish.

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir couscous in the melted butter until slightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until most of the stock is absorbed and the couscous have plumped, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir heavy cream and pimientos into couscous; add cayenne pepper and cook until couscous is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more broth if needed.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar cheese until melted; add chives and stir to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

RACHAEL RAY'S CHEESY PEARL COUSCOUS

This recipe came from her magazine and is so very good. You do need to make sure to make just enough to finish at the meal as it does not reheat well due to the cheese (it gets gluey when reheated). However, fresh and piping hot served with dinner, it is utterly fantastic!

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper lined plated to drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and set aside.
  • In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the couscous until just al dente, 5 to 6 minutes; drain. NOTE-Be sure the holes in your colander are smaller than the couscous to avoid having them all go through and down the drain!
  • Add the corn and scallions to the reserved skillet and cook over medium high heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the couscous and chicken stock and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the butter, grated cheese, and bacon. Serve and enjoy immediately.

CHEESY BACON PEARL COUSCOUS

This recipe is quick and easy and makes use of pearl couscous, which is a fun little pasta. I originally made this without the cheese or bacon and it was delicous that way, but my boyfriend suggested them as additions, so this recipe was born, and it is delicious either way. Use low-sodium chicken stock so you can control the amount of salt, and let your bacon get nice and crisp, it holds up to the cheesy pasta and provides some texture.
