Easy Pearl Couscous Salad

GET RECIPE: theplantbasedschool.com/israe...
Despite its English name, Israeli couscous - pearl couscous or Ptitim - is not a type of couscous but small pasta balls made with durum wheat semolina flour and water, similar to Sardinian fregola.
Its shape is reminiscent of Palestinian maftoul, Levantine moghrabieh, and North African Berkoukes.
You’ll love pearl couscous because it cooks quickly-about 7 minutes in boiling water or vegetable broth-and has a slightly chewy and satisfying texture.
INGREDIENTS:
SALAD
1½ cups (250 grams) pearl couscous + 4 cups/1 liter water or vegetable broth & 1 tablespoon salt
2 cups (300 grams) cherry tomatoes halved
1½ cups (190 grams) cucumber diced
1 cup (130 grams) green bell pepper diced
4 scallions thinly sliced
1 can (15 ounces) (240 grams) chickpeas or 3 cups cooked chickpeas
½ cup (70 grams) olives kalamata or taggiasche
½ cup (60 grams) sun-dried tomatoes in oil chopped
1 cup (25 grams) flat-leaf parsley chopped
DRESSING
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mustard American or Dijon
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 small garlic clove
1 teaspoon ground cumin or sumac
¾ teaspoon salt or more to taste
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
quick pickled red onions to taste
yogurt tahini sauce to taste; substitute crumbled feta or non-dairy feta
toasted pine nuts to taste
Enjoy ❤️ Nico & Louise

[@deepthab.k.8963]

Yes it is

[@loripederson5911]

It is NOT tapioca. It is pearl or Israeli couscous. A wheat product.

[@Potencyfunction]

That is smart protein food. I need a nutricional assiatent to tell me what to cook...

[@GigaDavy91]

[@franksmom1130]

Thanks. Can you please show the dressing ingredients, I missed what the last spice was.

[@nontombizozo4388]

For some reason, I haven't been boiling my couscous, just let it set in hot water, drain and pat dry with a cloth or paper towel.

[@asmerommahari6391]

Read the label on the package, all of them are not the same.

[@MalteseKat]

Like a mouth full of marbles

[@Lana.861]

Okay as a Tunisian who eats couscous several times a week and having it as our national meal I advice you to not cook couscous that way it has to be cooked in something called keskes which actually keeps the taste of couscous instead of boiling it ,don't get me wrong varieties are welcomed and as long you like it that way it is fine but trust me and try the Tunisian couscous it is tasty and you can add a lot of veggies or fish or meat in general

[@dwightalexander5876]

Please I want this recipe😀

[@sifaatulwakiah9201]

How you can get enought protein from your food when only eat plantbased..
Because your skin, hairs,look so good.

[@KyriusVeritis]

Protein isn't that big of a deal on plant based diet as people think it is. From protein powder and nuts and seeds, to legumes and some vegetables, it's very possible to eat your protein.

[@rimaammar9349]

I think this is called mograbyi not cuscus

[@ironcookerooo2456]

Very off topic and random, but I have been trying to work out your accent for months...May I ask where you are from?

[@fatimamohamed9811]

He sounds a European man

[@KyriusVeritis]

Italy.

[@adventureexe6032]

​@@fatimamohamed9811which country though? He doesn't sound German or Russian. Or Danish. European doesn't answer the question 😅

[@marein1327]

Looked like sabudana khichdi😭😭😭

[@wegotthewholeworld6361]

Its Israeli "PTITIM" 😊

[@-greentoad]

Yum! Except no onions. Not a fan. Looks so good though. 😊

[@younesalg1985]

That's far away from couscous.

[@wisstigresse4840]

My god this is not coucous. I will report you contain.

[@adelie_game]

Its not couscous its berkoukes. Omg that's a crime for algerian people

[@adventureexe6032]

It's labelled differently in different countries. It's pearl couscous for most western countries. Ask Israel. They insist it's Israeli couscous

[@user-uc1go4io9c]

You make awesome food but
EAT ANIMAL FOODS!! Since the beginning of time MAN has eaten animal protein. It’s called the circle of life! It’s detrimental to your health to not get all the essential nutrients that animal meat gives our human bodies. Stay well and healthy. ❤️

[@user-uc1go4io9c]

TRUTH! 🌟

[@KyriusVeritis]

Stop spreading bullcrap, please.

[@letsgomets002]

Those are called grape tomatoes not cherry tomatoes 😂

[@lightningboy906]

[@michagrzegorzrzepka1287]
