Have you tried cooking cous cous? I like it a lot. It is a very practical dish, it needs little time to be prepared, and is very versatile. I made them last night for dinner, but since I'm still not going out because of the cold, they brought me the wrong cous cous from the market so it took me more time to cook it than planned. I'll explain you.
Hay dos tipos de cuscús, el de grano grande, que es el que no me gusta porque demora 15 minutos en cocinarse, y el de grano fino que se cocina en 5 minutos. Les pongo una foto de referencia. Si quieren probar esta receta, yo les sugiero comprar el cuscús de grano fino.
There are two types of cous cous, large grain and small grain. I don't like the large grain because it takes about 15 minutes to cook versus the small grain that takes about 5. I include a reference photo below. If you want to try and make this recipe, I suggest you use small grain cous cous.
Cuscús vegetariano
Instrucciones:
- Pongan en una sartén: un chorrito de aceite de oliva, un cubito knorr o maggi, ajo fresco picado (o en polvo), champiñones frescos picados (o de lata), tomates y pimientos en cubo. (Yo puse además las sobras de pollo del almuerzo). Dejen cocinar.
- Añadan a la sartén una taza de agua y dejen hervir. Cuando el agua esté hirviendo, apagan el fuego y agregan una taza de cuscús. Tapan y dejan reposar por 5 minutos. Muevan el cuscús con un tenedor.
- A comer!
Si usan el cuscús grueso, tienen que cocinarlo como si fueran fideos normales (en una olla con abundante agua) por el tiempo que indique el paquete, típicamente algo de 15 minutos. Una vez hechos, los agregan a la sartén (que fue lo que yo hice ayer).
Espero les guste!
Vegetarian Cous cous
Instructions:
- Put in a saucepan: Olive oil, one flavor bouillon or cube, fresh garlic (chopped) or powder garlic, fresh mushrooms (diced) or canned, and chopped fresh tomatoes and peppers. (I also added some leftover chicken from lunch). Let everything cook.
- Add one cup of water to the saucepan and let it boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and add one cup of small grain cous cous. Cover with lid and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir the cous cous with a fork.
- Enjoy!
The proportion of water for the small grain cous cous is one cup of water per cup of cous cous.
If you're using the big gran cous cous, you have to cook it as you would cook regular pasta, in a pot with abundant water. It will take around 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain and add to saucepan mix (that's what I did yesterday).
