Carrot Date Walnut Couscous image

This is surprisingly filling, and very quick and easy to prepare. I enjoy it when I don't have much time, and need to make something for just one person to eat. It's very healthy too!

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 large carrots, julienne
2 dates, chopped
3 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup couscous
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 teaspoon butter
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook carrots in pot of boiling water (cooking in the water preserves more nutrients than steaming) until just firm (about 5 minutes).
  • Prepare couscous by adding equal amount of boiling water to couscous in a bowl, and covering for 5-8 minutes.
  • Once cooked, fluff couscous and add olive oil.
  • Drain carrot water and butter carrots while still in the pot. Mix to cover carrots thoroughly with butter. (Fat helps to digest the nutrients in the carrots.).
  • Pile carrots, dates and wanuts on top of couscous.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe was delicious! I used brown rice instead of couscous and it turned out great. I also added some dried cranberries and it gave it a nice tartness. Thanks for sharing!
