Makes 6 servings Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2/3 cup finely diced carrot 2/3 cup finely diced onion Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2/3 cup finely diced zucchini 1 1/2 cups instant couscous 3 cups boiling water Directions: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until foaming. Add the carrot and onion, season them lightly with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Add the sauteed vegetables, stir well with a fork and cover the bowl tightly. Let stand until the couscous is softened and the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover and fluff with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot. home | about lidia | tv show | books | restaurants | food products | shopping travel | recipes | what's new | where's lidia | special events | contact us copyright © 2000 Felidia Inc. designed by winters ripp design
