Roasted Corn-and-Garlic Couscous
|
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Source: Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 1998
Comments from a PA Kitchen: I added an extra garlic clove and used whole wheat
couscous. Hearty lower-points starch dish. Oh, and I skipped the
pimentos, because I am not crazy about them and I knew I could not
sell them to the smallest person at our dinner table.
INGREDIENTS:
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
Cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons diced pimento
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Wrap garlic in foil. Place garlic and corn on a jelly-roll pan
coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt over corn.
- Bake at 425° for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Unwrap
garlic, and mince.
- Combine garlic, corn, broth, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; gradually
stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork; stir in onions and pimento.
