Life is full of compromises. Despite your best efforts, sometimes you just have to compromise to get anywhere at all.
And so it was for Weekend in a French Kitchen (Café Boulud) this week, where I compromised quite a bit to get the finished product due to a lack of time. Our recipe was Vegetable Couscous. the recipe required us to make harissa and vegetable broth from scratch before making the couscous. I had been away for the weekend, so this was never going to happen. I used harissa out of a jar and vegetable broth out of a tetrapak, but I was still happy with my jewelled couscous.

I think one of the big benefits of couscous is its easiness so I am on board with your approach to making this dish!
ReplyDeleteHey we all have those weekends where you just have to go into the pantry for help! :D Mine is this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love that you found some good shortcuts for this recipe and we're still happy with it. I ran out of time for making this one, but maybe I'll try your method :)
ReplyDeleteLooks plenty good from where I am sitting...couscous is a favorite of mine, so nice and easy and you can change it up so many ways. I love the "jewels" in yours!
