My family hate couscous, but I love it and I'm selfish, so it really doesn't stop me from preparing it whenever I want. Plus, I figure they are never going to learn to like it unless they are exposed to it a bit.
This time they were complaining, "why is it all yellow?" I explained that the saffron made it yellow and they turned their noses up at that. So I decided that next time I make couscous, I am going to put a few drops of food colouring in it. Maybe I'll make it blue or purple. But knowing my family, and how illogical they are they'll gobble it up, if it's purple.
recipe:
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup couscous
1 clove garlic1 green onion
2 tbps cilantro
1/8 tsp crush saffron threads
1. Finely chop the garlic, green onion and cilantro. Add to saucepan with chicken broth and saffron.
2. Bring to a boil. As soon as the broth is boiling, add the couscous and remove from heat.
3. Let sit 5 minutes and serve. I always use a 1/2 cup measure as a mold when I am serving it up (and a 1/4 cup measure for the kids).
