Parmesan CousCous Salad

Do you make couscous? I just love to say couscous! 😜
This is a delicious 15-Minute Parmesan Couscous salad recipe with some boiled Beetroot and grilled tofu for you. This makes a tasty side dish for just about any meal. In fact this is a complete meal for me.
If you have never tried couscous before, I highly suggest it. It is light, yet filling, and this 15-minute parmesan couscous has just the right amount of cheesy richness. I like Moroccan style with Chickpeas or Mediterranean style with kidney beans too. I love making this in various ways, I wonder why haven’t I ever posted any recipes with this.. 🤔 anyways here’s my Italian Cous Cous recipe.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups whole wheat couscous
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter, divided
1 tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp chopped zucchini
2 tbsp chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp chopped yellow bell pepper
Method
 
  1. In a medium size pot, bring the broth, olive oil, one tablespoon of butter and seasonings to a boil.
  2. Add the couscous, stir quickly to combine, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooked couscous to a large bowl.
  4. Add the rest of the butter (I cut mine up), Parmesan cheese, chopped red & yellow bell peppers, zucchini and parsley.
  5. Using a fork to fluff the couscous until the butter is melted and everything is evenly combined. This may take a minute or two. Make sure you don’t use a spoon, because it will make the couscous clump together rather than keeping it light and fluffy.
  6. Adjust the seasonings to taste. You can add more salt and or pepper until it suites your tastes.
  7. This makes a large portion and will easily feed 6-8 people depending on portion size. This works great for my family, but if you prefer a smaller amount, you could easily cut the recipe in half.
  8. Also, I used whole wheat, but you can use any kind of couscous. Make sure you check the amount of liquid instructed for the brand of couscous you buy. My couscous was a 1:1 ratio, but each type may be different.
  9. Tofu is grilled and seasoned with salt & pepper.
