This is so light, so tasty, so good, so healthy. You can cook it in 5 minutes. Dinner was never easier to prepare. Check out the ingredients and let's start cooking.
Ingredients (for two persons):
- 2 corn cobs,
- 250g of couscous,
- 1 carrot,
- 75 g of almonds,
- 1 handful of coriander,
- For dressing:
- 3 tablespoons of neutral oil,
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice,
- 1 teaspoon of cumin,
- pinch of salt,
- pinch of pepper.
How to cook it?
Let some salted water boil and then pour the couscous until the water covers it for a half inch in the bowl, cover it with a clean film and leave it for a while. Drop corn cobs in the boiling water and cook them for 3 minutes. After that take them out of the pot and leave them for a couple of minutes to cool down. In the meantime, make the dressing. In a small bowl add oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir and then it is time to put all the ingredients together and make the salad. Use a sharp heavy knife to cut kernels from the cobs, add couscous, grated carrot, almonds and handful of chopped coriander. Pour the dressing over the salad, stir a little and you are done. Serve it. On the video below, as you can see, Shef uses israeli couscous, but we recommend regular, because it easier to prepare.
Cooking time: 15 minutes.
