I made spaghetti last night.  Did it very quickly trying to get done before the storm came through and knocked out our electricity, then the storm kinda went around us.

I made this a few weeks ago and it was AWESOME and took less than 10 min.



SPICY COUSCOUS AND VEGETABLES

Ingredients
• 1 small zucchini, halved and cut into slices
• 2 small red peppers, large dice
• 1 small eggplant , quartered and sliced
• Olive oil, to taste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups couscous
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 lemon, grated zest and juice


Directions
1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.  Place cut vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.  Place in oven and roast for about 10 minutes.
4.  Place couscous in a heat proof bowl and stir in all the spices and orange juice. 5.  Bring the vegetable stock to a boil and pour over the couscous making sure it covers the couscous mixture completely.
6.  Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and leave for 5 to 10 minutes or until all the stock is absorbed.
7.  Stir in the herbs, olive oil, grated lemon zest and juice.
8.  Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss with roasted vegetables.


I cut the veggies pretty small and put them on the top rack and broiled them on low, that went much faster.  I used chicken broth so don't know how much difference that makes.  I didn't use lemon just cause I didn't have it on hand.  I aslo just used ground cumin. 

It has a barely slight kick to it for you weak of heart.

Fixing Spaghetti tonight

same here, but w/ cheesey noodles.  Garlic bread and green beans.  Mmmm, I'm starving! 

[myhaloisintheshop]

cheesy noodles?


tonight Im making steak, baked potatoes and salad.   Clint will probably have cottage cheese and tomatoes and cukes with his.

[Melody]

yeah, I add a little parmesan or asiago to the noodles when they're done w/ a little half n' half. It makes them slightly creamy. My family likes it best, though I don't do it very often.  Evaporated milk or heavy cream can also be used w/ the cheese.

[Backseat Radio]

ya all are making me hungry   

*wonders if there's any cottage cheese in her fridge*

[Tricia Lea]

Made chicken pasta and corn

[Heather]

whatever mom decides she wants to feed me.....granted she doesn't know she's feeding me yet......

[EricShane]

Uncle Bens black beans and rice.. lol.. we are lazy and poor

[Lynx]

Melted cheddar, parmesan dressing and herring on homemade whole wheat sourdough.  Or that's what I'm thinking of having anyway.  I might change my mind and have baked potatoes with almost a whole stick of butter, the only way to eat them. 

[Babs]

[Babs]

yeah buddy!

[Lynx]

I was wrong, that's not the only way to eat potatoes.  I went with potatoes with cheddar melted in, plus parmesan dressing. 


Rich food, yes.  Rich people food, no.  Potatoes are cheap, the parmesan dressing I got at a salvage grocery and the cheese is regular ole chedded shreddar, I mean shredded cheddar.  What's rich people food?  The herring I didn't eat tonight is a dollar a can at Dollar General Store.
