Curry Couscous

September 18, 2023 Filed Under: Dinner, Grains, Sides

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Curry couscous is seasoned with Indian-inspired spices and packed with hidden veggies!

This was pretty yummy for a side dish with chicken. I served it with these “tandoori” chicken tenders. I love pearl couscous because it’s versatile, and it’s made of tiny round noodles so my children eat it.

Curry Couscous

Total Time15 minutes mins
Servings: 4
Calories: 176kcal

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pearl couscous
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • ½ cup shallots (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Finally, stir the vegetable mixture into the cooked couscous. Stir in the ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Hello, world!

I’ve always liked cooking, but we used to eat crap a lot — like buttery mashed potatoes, creamy sauces and rich desserts. Then, my husband had a heart attack at age 38, and it was a terrifying wake-up call! Not wanting to leave our children fatherless, we knew we had to make a major change. Following his heart attack, we needed to cut sodium, sugar, saturated fats (you know, most of our favorite foods!)
