Ingredients for Garden Harvest Colourful Couscous:
- 125 g couscous
- 1 onion
- 1 fennel
- 1 parsley root or celery
- 1 carrot
- 2 tablespoon chopped red pepper
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 25 g of butter
- 100 ml of lemon juice
- 400 ml of hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 3 bay leaves
Instructions for Garden Harvest Colourful Couscous:
First steps:
Clean the vegetables, and grate 1 carrot. Chop 1 fennel (or half if it’s larger), along with an onion, half a red bell pepper, 1 parsley root (or a small celery) and 4 cloves of garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped fennel and onion, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Next steps:
Next, add the grated carrot and chopped parsley root (or celery). Stir and cook until they begin to soften (about 5 minutes).
Reduce the heat, then add the chopped garlic and bell peppers. Continue stirring until the peppers soften, about 2 minutes more.
Last steps:
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and cumin (or your preferred spice), and add 3 bay leaves. Pour in 100 ml of squeezed lemon juice, and add 75g of boiled corn kernels. Stir gently.
Pour in 500ml of hot water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Once done, remove the pan from the heat and stir in 125g of couscous. Put back the lid and let the mixture cool, allowing the couscous to swell for about 10 minutes.
When it’s ready, serve the Garden Harvest Colourful Couscous with parsley leaves, as a salad, or as a side dish with any main dish you prefer. I’ve chosen Succulent Giblets and Tender Egg Stew. Here is the recipe.
Chicken giblets, often overlooked, are a powerhouse of nutrients that can add both flavor and nutritional value to our diets. Despite their small size, they are packed with protein, essential vitamins, and minerals.
A typical serving of chicken giblets contains around 150 calories, making them a relatively low-calorie yet nutrient-dense food. These organ meats are rich in iron, which is crucial for transporting oxygen in the body, as well as zinc, which supports immune function and wound healing.
Additionally, they provide a good dose of B vitamins, including B12, which is essential for nerve function and energy production. Incorporating chicken giblets into our diet not only adds depth of flavor to dishes but also boosts their nutritional content, making them a valuable addition to any meal.
