Default GREEK COUSCOUS

GREEK COUSCOUS

If you are a couscous lover, this is a very delicious dish.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups chicken broth or water
1 cup uncooked couscous
1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups diced plum tomatoes
1 cup diced peeled cucumbers
1/3-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup small ripe olives, halved
3 tablespoons diced red onions
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, well drained (garbonzo beans)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Yield: 4 servings

Bring the 1-1/2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; stir in the couscous and oregano, remove from heat; cover, and let stand 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork.

Combine the couscous, tomatoes with the next 5 ingredients (tomatoes through chickpeas) in a bowl; set aside.

Combine 1/4 cup water with the remaining ingredients; stir well with a whisk.

Pour over the couscous mixture, tossing gently to coat.
