Israeli couscous with olives and roasted tomatoes
Roast
Roasting
Israeli (aka Pearl) Couscous is something I haven't tried before. I've seen it used in recipes and heard about it, but have never actually eaten it. So when we saw a box of it for sale at Trader Joe's, I snapped it up, and began searching for recipes in which to use my unique find. This recipe is a keeper. It reminds me a lot of the Mediterranean Orzo and Chicken Salad recipe we made this summer, both in flavor and in mouth feel. I think orzo and pearl couscous are very similar, so if you can't find the later, orzo is a good substitute. We added half of a rotisserie chicken for some protein, and so we could eat this as our entire dinner. It's eaten cool or room temperature. We always like meals like that because I can get photos, Taylor can get all the dishes done, and we don't have to worry about our food getting cold. It'd be a good summer meal, but also a good winter meal when your tired of all the hot and heavy foods. Enjoy!
