Yield Serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small leek, sliced and washed
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced
2 heaped tsp salt
1 preserved lemon, diced
1 cup Israeli couscous (also called giant couscous or ptitim)
3 cups boiling water
1 cup shelled fresh peas
4 sprigs of mint, picked and chopped
4 sprigs of parsley, picked and chopped
4 oz goats' cheese of your choice

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan or non-stick wok. Fry the leeks and garlic on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes to soften, then add the salt and preserved lemon, and stir to combine. Tip in the Israeli couscous and continue frying for another 2 minutes or until the little couscous balls start to go golden.
  • Add half the boiling water and the peas. Boil until most of the water has soaked in, then add the rest of the water and cook on a high heat until it has also been sucked up by the couscous.
  • Remove from the heat, add the mint and parsley and stir well. Finally crumble the goats' cheese all over and serve.

Lemony Israeli Couscous with Asparagus image

I came up with this versatile dish during asparagus season. You can eat this as a salad for lunch, or as a great side dish to kabobs or grilled meats. This makes two hearty lunch-sized salads or four side-dish portions.
