cous cous is awesome, and a life saver for me - there are so many things I can't eat because of DS's reflux but cous cous doesn't seem to bother him.

I can't do dairy, onions, garlic or spices and a good few green vegies and stock is off the menu but i flavour the cous cous with dried mixed herbs and salt and let it absorb the water, then toss through roasted pumpkin, kumara, mushrooms and potato; acid-free tomatoes, baby spinach and season with salt, pepper, olive oil and a wee dash of balsamic vinegar (which might not be that good for DS but I seem to get away with it.).

Hmm yummo. I love couscous! My fave is Roast Pumpkin and Couscous Salad hmmm.
I definitely agree with the vege stock instead of water, it adds a great flavour.

I use the absorbtion method so technically I dont cook it

cous cous cooked in chick or veg stock (sometimes I do half and half) with bacon, onion, garlic, mushroom, red pepper, courgette and peas. YUMMO!

Takes 5 minutes to cook up the veg and boil the kettle then cover it and leave it until you need it.]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 20:06:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254561&title=couscous#1254561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254424&title=couscous#1254424 Author: jazzy

Mmmmm, I LOVE couscous!

One of my favourites is orange couscous with yogurt, which I saw on the Biggest Loser Australia. Delicious for breakfast.

I also like peppers stuffed with couscous. It's just couscous cooked in a bit of stock, crumbled up feta, onion and tomato all chopped up, mixed together and put in half a yellow pepper. Then bake in the oven til the pepper is soft. Yum!]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 16:14:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254379&title=couscous#1254379 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254351&title=couscous#1254351 Author: Bizzy

if you use stock instead of water it gives it a great taste too... but make sure the stock isnt too strong. a nice vege stock is yum.]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 15:40:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254351&title=couscous#1254351 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37759&PID=1254342&title=couscous#1254342 Author: MamaT

I made a couscous salad today for the first ever time and it was delicious. I took it to meet a friend and it was well received there too, so thought i'd share.


I made it with;
Wilted spinach
Cherry tomatoes
Feta
Chorizo


It was so quick and easy and quite filling too. I will definately be making it again.



Feel free to share your couscous recipes
