For the curried apple couscous, I’m going to use some of those pretty red bell peppers from our box this week for a splash of color and flavor with the fall apples.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon curry powder 2 medium apples, cored and chopped 3 green onions, washed, trimmed, and thinly sliced 1 cup whole wheat couscous (or regular) 1 3/4 cup water 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted Small handful of mint, chopped (or basil or cilantro)
Preparation:
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat add 3 tablespoons of the butter, the curry powder, and a couple generous pinches of salt, and cook for a minute or until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the chopped apples and cook for about 3 minutes, enough time for the apples to soften up a bit and absorb some of the curry. Scoop the apples from the pan and set aside in a separate bowl.
In the same pan, again over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in the green onions, let them soften up a bit and then add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, stir in the couscous, cover and remove from heat. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a fork to fluff up the couscous. Stir in the apples, pine nuts, and chopped mint. Season with more salt and curry powder to taste.
