{roasted garlic & mushroom couscous}

hey y’all.

i love this dish! it’s so easy to make, keeps well, and it’s delicious and filling!

couscous is one of my favourite grains. it’s so fluffy and fun and takes on the flavour of whatever you add to it. personally, i could eat mushrooms basically on the daily. i just LOVE mushrooms! this is one of the staples in the food and foto household. i make it ahead of time and eat it throughout the week. it’s easy to re-heat and the texture maintains throughout.

caramelized onions
sautéed garlic
crimini mushrooms
1 cup couscous
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water
parsley, to taste
S&P, to taste

the ratio for couscous is 1:1.

i used a combination of homemade chicken bone broth and water for this recipe. simply bring liquid to a boil then toss in couscous. remove from heat, cover, and allow to “steam” for about 6-8 minutes, fluffing with a fork half way through cook time. this grain is so fine and delicate that it cooks rather quickly. finally, add in other ingredients and enjoy! it’s also really good with fresh peas!

nom nom!

{what’s in my refrigerator}

28 Jan

on sundays i like to do my meal-prepping for the week. i have lots of containers and jars for storing my dry goods as well as my make-ahead meals.

here’s what i created to eat last week :

raw spinach salad
hard-boiled eggs
sautéed veggies for an asian-inspired dish
blanched broccoli
citrus baked salmon
roasted garlic israeli cous-cous
my famous mashed potatoes
raw celery sticks
curried lentils with ham and veggies
sauerkraut (not homemade)
garlic dill pickles (homegrown and homemade)
roasted tomato soup
homemade beef bone broth
potstickers (to go with asian dish)
turmeric tea w/ coconut milk

do you like to make your meals ahead of time? batch-cooking has been something i’ve adopted into my lifestyle over the last few years and it’s really helped me save money and keep my diet in check.
