Just a quick, easy recipe to share. I always pick up a bag of Trader Joe's frozen edamame and then don't know what to do with it, besides throw it in a stir-fry in place of tofu. I'm low on handy proteins this week so I cooked it according to the package, then tossed it in my pasta and red sauce. The result was serviceable but not great.
This, however, turned out well. I had half of the package leftover and a very old box of couscous, so voila!
Edamame and Sun-dried Tomato Couscous
Half a package of cooked edamame (about one cup)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced or chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
One cup dry couscous
Garlic salt
Black pepper
Nutritional yeast (optional)
1. Bring one cup of water to a boil
2. Add the first five ingredients, stir, and return to a boil.
3. Add the couscous, stir, remove from heat and cover with a lid.
4. Let sit five minutes.
5. Add salt, pepper and nooch to taste. If it seems a bit dry, add a splash of water.
Enjoy!
