Since a few of you have given me a few recipes to try, I though it only fair to pass on to you my favorite:
Curried Couscous.
Curried Couscous.
1 1/2 c. couscous (I just use one box)
1 T. butter
1 1/2 c. boiling water
Place couscous in a bowl. Melt the butter in the boiling water and pour over the couscous. Cover tightly and allow the couscous to soak for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Whisk together the following ingredients then pour over the fluffed couscous and mix well with a fork:
1/4 c. plain yogurt
1/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. ground tumeric
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Add the following ingredients and mix well:
1/2 c. craisins
1/4-1/2 c. cashews
I have only tried it with the above ingredients, but other possible add-ins/replacements:
1/2 c. grated carrots
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 c. diced red onion
cubed grilled chicken
When I make this for myself I am perfectly content to just eat a bowl of it by itself--I am pretty sure I would be quite content to live off of this for several weeks. When I am making it for others I usually do a grilled chicken and maybe some asparagus on the side.

Sounds good. Do you think it could work with quinoa instead of couscous?
This has nothing to do with curry or couscous, but I thought of you when I saw this:

I will forever think of you when I see peeps!
I thought this could be fun to do with your nieces or YW. :)
Yummy. I will have to try this. I even think I have everything on hand.
Kimberly--I think that it would work just fine with quinoa and I think that bunny smores thing is very clever.
Yes, people, I love peeps (but only Easter peeps).
Looks yummy. I'm always intimidated by curry. Is it really spicy or good spicy? Guess I need to get brave.
Jen it is not spicy at all so be brave!
