October 18, 2009: The Couscous Experiment - Stage Iii

For the tertiary too concluding stage of the couscous experiment, I chose too adapted i of the recipes that was supplied alongside our promotional bundle of pearl couscous. Originally a "medley of mushroom too spinach alongside gourmet pearl couscous too bacon", I replaced the bacon alongside a vegetarian imitation, too the spinach alongside silverbeet.

In this recipe, the onions too mushrooms larn sauteed earlier the couscous too stock are added. Once the stock has been absorbed, inwards goes the spinach/silverbeet too unopen to grated parmesan, too on goes unopen to grilled (faux) bacon. Based on our previous trials, it was pretty clear to me that production #3, the moghrabieh, was non going to come upwardly out of this well. Given the risotto-like nature of the recipe I decided to supervene upon it alongside production #3a, arborio rice. Costing $2.49 for a 500g packet ($4.98/kg) at our local supermarket, it's at the cheaper too to a greater extent than accessible goal of the products.

Let's boot off alongside the recipe, should you lot want to endeavour it at home.
