Couscous With Arugula And Balsamic Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside until juicy, about 5 minutes. Toss the arugula with the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Spread the arugula on a platter. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices on top, then drizzle with more olive oil and vinegar. Top with parmesan.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until couscous has puffed up and is cooked through to the center. Drain and allow to cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Prepare dressing by whisking together the lemon juice and mustard while drizzling in the olive oil. Once slightly emulsified, stir in pepper flakes and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
• Toss the tomato, currants, cucumber, red bell pepper, onion and arugula with the couscous. Pour the dressing over top. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to the combine.

Steps:

• In a medium pan, bring the broth to a boil.
• When it is boiling add the basil and garlic and stir. Then add the couscous, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Let sit 5-10 minutes.
• Chop the tomatoes.
• In a small bowl mix the balsamic vinegar, the oil, and the pepper. Add the tomatoes.
• When the couscous is ready add the tomato mixture and mix well.
• Serve hot or cold.
