I was making a clean out the fridge dinner one night for Gentleman Caller and me one night and I stumbled across some Israeli cous cous in my pantry. As you know, I always have it on hand. I decided to whip up a side with what I had in my house and it sounded like a weird combo. Once we took a bite, we realized it was not. It was an explosion in your mouth!
Israeli cous cous is not something most people have laying around all the time, but they should. It absorbs flavor so well and it has great texture! Plus it is filling and goes a long way. Make this! It is the perfect side or a great vegetarian lunch! I don't have much of a post on this as I made it on the fly, but lucky for you, I went back and wrote it down!
