Why I Love This Recipe
I make this recipe all the time and all of my children, especially my son Devin and my daughter Kaminie loves it! It's easy to prepare and healthy too.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 Cup Middle Eastern Coucous
1 1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp. Butter
1 tsp. Olive Oil
2 oz. Crumbled Feta Cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. ground gumin
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
3 cloves fresh chopped garlic
2 cups Arugula (you can use baby spinach if you like too)
Directions
Bring water and butter to a boil and remove from off heat. Add Couscous and cover for about 10 minutes. With a fork, fluff the couscous. Add remaining ingredients and mix well (it's important to add the remaining ingredients while the coucous is still hot as this helps the flavors to blend better). Can be served warm or at room temperature.
