Ingredients

  • 1 medium head broccoli crown
  • 1 cup fine plain dry couscous
  • 1 ½ cup warm water
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Separate the broccoli florets.
  2. Place broccoli in a food processor and pulse until obtain fine couscous sized granules(about 2 cups).
  3. Heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat and add in the blended broccoli.
  4. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly and add salt to taste. Stir and set aside.
  5. Prepare couscous by putting in a bowl, water, pinch of salt and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  6. Pour in the couscous and let absorb the water completely for about 5 minutes. The couscous will double or triple in size, so you may obtain up to 3 cups couscous.
  7. Fluff couscous with a fork, then place in a steamer.
  8. Steam couscous for about 15 minutes(I like to steam my couscous, I think that it tastes better when

    steamed).

  9. Pour couscous in a large bowl, and fluff with a fork again.
  10. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  11. Mix 2 cups steamed couscous with the blended cooked broccoli. You can add less couscous to the blended broccoli if you prefer less carbs.
  12. Serve Broccoli Couscous drizzled with olive oil.
