Although I love to cook- it becomes more of a chore in the summer when its already too hot to breathe. So minimal heat meals are a godsend. Today I managed a delicious meal using ONLY things in the cupboards, and had the burners on for 5 minutes total.
Curried Chickpea Couscous
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups of Dried Instant Couscous
1 1/2 Cups of Water
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Butter
1/3 Cup of Raisins
1/2 Red Onion (Diced)
1 Carrot (Grated)
1 Cup of Chickpeas (precooked or canned)
1 Medium Red Pepper (Diced)
2 Tablespoons Curry Powder
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
Place the water, Olive Oil and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and mix the raisins and couscous in. Let sit for 3-4 minutes, adding the butter, return the pan to the stove and Cook for two minutes while fluffing with a fork.
Mix the carrot, pepper, onion in with the couscous. Add the Curry powder and Garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Eat and Enjoy!
I served it on a bed of lettuce leaves- but a small salad on the side might be nice. Delicious, easy and TONS of leftovers for lunch all week.
