This is the side we had last night with Greek grilled lamb chops...I think if you add some cheese like feta, it would make a lovely lunch.
Makes 3 to 4 side servings
1 Tbl olive oil
1 medium leek (white and pale green part) diced
1 clove minced garlic
1 cup Israeli (pearl) couscous
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)
1 medium tomato, seeded and cut into a small dice
2 to 3 large handfuls of baby spinach leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
S & P to taste
Heat the oil in a medium sauce pan and add the leek and garlic. saute gently until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
Add the couscous and the chicken broth, bring up to a boil and then down to a gentle simmer. Cover and let simmer 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomato and spinach and while on the heat stir until the spinach wilts. If you feel you need a little more broth, now is the time to add it.
Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
