Directions
Tunisian Couscous Salad With Grilled Sausages, This comes from one of my Food and Wine cookbooks Use whatever kind of sausages you like: hot, mild or a combination They say to serve this with an Australian Shiraz Im posting it for ZWT3 Now I just have to go look up where Tunisia is! LOL (It is in North Africa between Algeria and Libya), We were grilling sausages so I made the couscous as a side, rather than a base for the sausage My husband raved about it and loved the way it smelled That amount of couscous makes more like six servings for us I added more lemon juice, as I like the acidity, used less oil, and added about a cup of thawed green peas and some chopped roasted red peppers Toasting the couscous, like toasting quinoa, adds a nuttier flavor Like Darkhunter, used V-8 (low sodium), as that’s what I keep on hand I’ll be returning to this recipe many times, I think!, This is an A+ on the taste scale The only thing I changed was that used V8 juice instead of the tomato juice, because that was what I had on hand I loved the fact that the couscous was browned Gave it a little different taste than usual Very easy to prepare Given the fact that my sister loves couscous, this will be a definite keeper Thank, dicentra, for a lovely recipe
