Ingredients

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and tomatoes and stir until the onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme and stir until the mushrooms give off their liquid and begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add broth and hot sauce and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat and cover. Let stand until the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. With a fork, fluff the couscous and stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Delicious quick and adaptable I made this low fat and vegan...carmelized the onions in a dry pan and deglazed w/a bit of water and used a vegan bullion cube instead of chicken broth. I also added some dried thyme as the mushrooms/onions were finishing. It was delicious fast and satisfying. I'll try it next time with the giant Israeli couscous. This made a great meal and would be adaptable with many different additions. Pros: quick and delicious Cons: none Read More

Love this! I loved this recipe -- the only thing I did differently was I used sodium-free chicken boullion mixed with warm water instead of the low-sodium broth but the overall taste was delicious! I am normally not crazy about sun-dried tomatoes but I didn't mind them in this! I would definitely make this again! Read More
