Mediterranean Couscous

A blend of couscous, sun dried tomatoes, garlic and feta are combined in this 10 minute Mediterranean Couscous salad recipe!
Today’s recipe was inspired by both what was in my pantry that I could make fast, as well as a recipe from one of my Food Network favorite’s, Guy Fieri.
Couscous is a very quick cooking mediterranean grain and easy to cook. You can combine it with a variety of ingredients to add tons of flavor!
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Garlic cloves
- Red pepper flakes
- Sun-dried tomatoes (drained, if in oil)
- Chicken broth
- Couscous
- Feta cheese crumbles
Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil in a medium skillet, next add the garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute.
Next, add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté an additional minute.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Add the couscous then remove the skillet from the heat and cover.
After 5 minutes remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
Now it’s time to add the cheese (my favorite part!) I used the mediterranean feta from Trader Joe’s which worked perfect for this recipe, but regular feta will work just fine too.
Now toss together with salt and pepper to taste and you have a simple, delicious meal or side dish in about 10 minutes!
Lemon Rosemary Chicken would be a delicious addition to this Mediterranean Couscous for dinner.
