Whole Wheat Couscous Tabbouleh Recipes

Steps:

• Place red onion in a small bowl, and cover with water. Let soak 30 minutes; transfer to paper towels, and drain.
• Lightly coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Add couscous; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt; cook until all water has been absorbed and couscous is al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, combine couscous, reserved red onion, parsley, mint, oil, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Serve, garnished with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the broth, the water, 1/4 cup of the lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the oil, bring the mixture to a boil, and stir in the couscous. Cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let the couscous stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and let it cool in the pan. In a very large bowl stir together the cucumber pieces, the tomato dice, the scallion, the remaining 1/3 cup oil, the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, and salt to taste and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Add the couscous, the parsley, and the mint leaves, stir the salad well, and chill it, covered, for 1 hour. The salad may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the salad garnished with the mint sprigs and the cucumber and tomato slices.

Steps:

• Place the couscous in a bowl. Mix with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder.
• Add the boiling water and mix to combine. Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes.
• After all the liquid has been absorbed, uncover the couscous and fluff with a fork.
• Add the lemon juice, the 3 tablespoons olive oil, and the salt and pepper to taste to the fluffed couscous.
• Add the tomatoes, red pepper, scallions and capers. Toss to combine.
• Lightly stir in the parsley, optional mint leaves, and the pistachios.
• Taste and adjust for seasoning.
• Serve cool or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the couscous in a glass or ceramic bowl, and toss with the salt and cumin. Mix together 1/4 cup of the lemon juice and the water, and pour over the couscous. Let sit for 30 minutes, stirring the mixture from time to time or rubbing between your fingers and thumbs to prevent it from lumping. Cover with a plate, and microwave on 100 per cent power for one minute; or line a steamer with a kitchen towel, place the couscous in it and steam for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the plate, or remove from the steamer, and return to the bowl. Stir in the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil, and allow to cool. Toss with the remaining ingredients, except the lettuce leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve, using the romaine lettuce leaves as scoopers.
