Recipe: Couscous Salad

I'm just going to warn you ahead of time:  DON'T FEED THIS TO YOUR BABY!  It made a giant mess everywhere.

On Abby

What?   Is there something on my face?



Heh heh heh, you are gonna have fun cleaning me up! 
How did I get couscous IN my diaper?
I'll never tell.

 On the Dogs

How did he get couscous in his fur?  Ask the baby.
At least he is cleaning my floor for me!

Ugh.  Seriously, unless you are prepared to put a tarp under the high chair, do not give this to a child.  I literally had to put her in the bathtub immediately following dinner because she was such a disaster.  It was delicious though.  I love couscous because it is so fast to make and is super tasty!  Here is one of my fave brands.

Abby and I both had seconds of this one (I gave her some that didn't have margarine or spices).  Here is the recipe!

1 cup couscous
1 cup water
1/2 cup lentils
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp margarine
Garlic to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste

Place couscous in serving dish and cover with boiling water.  Cover dish and let stand 5 minutes.
Warm lentils and peas in olive oil
Fluff couscous with fork and add in the (now) cooked lentils and peas, season to taste.
Once seasoned, add in 1 tbsp of margarine and allow to melt.  Don't skip this step, you need a bit of extra oil.
Serve cold or hot.

You think I look bland?  Taste me!
