Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 another one of my "inventions". I felt like pasta but didn't want anything too heavy, so this recipe incorporates israeli couscous (think tapioca size or regular couscous on steroids). ISRAELI COUSCOUS SURPRISE 1 c. israeli couscous 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped 1 tomato, chopped juice of 1/2 large lemon pepper & sea salt to taste 1/3 c. chopped basil leaves TVP granules Boil Cook israeli couscous in water until al dente. While couscous is cooking, saute the bell pepper & tomato in a pan until soft. Add cooked couscous to bellpepper/tomato mixture. Mix thoroughly and squeeze half of a large lemon over the mixture. Pepper & salt to taste. Saute for a few minutes until heated through. (Before i did the previous step, i also threw in a few handfuls of dry TVP granules to help soak up the extra liquid.) Mix in chopped basil and saute for a few seconds more.
