Hi, I’m Pace, the Green Girls food Guru and you’re watching the Green Girls TV.
Today, we’re going to make Whole Wheat Couscous with sultanas, feta and toasted walnuts. So for today’s ingredients, you’ll need two cups of water, one cup of whole wheat couscous, half a cup of walnuts, a quarter cup of sherry vinegar, a third cup of sultanas and half a cup of Feta cheese.
So first of all, you’re just going to pour the sherry vinegar into the sultanas so that they just kind of –the word is plumped. They become plumped. This will take about 30 minutes that’s why I want to start off by doing that first.
Secondly, I’ve got my oven preheated to about 350 and I want to take the walnuts. I’ve already broken them into little pieces and pop that in the oven for about eight minutes. It shouldn’t really take more than that, just that they are toasted. When you smell them, they are done and ready to go. Then we’ll take our water and couscous over to the stove. Pour the water into a two quartz soft pan. Go ahead and just turn it on high so what we’re looking for here is a boil and salt water like a teaspoon of salt of that because couscous is actually not a whole grain. It's like a pasta. It looks like a whole grain now.
Let’s say, a tradition in Northern Africa, where they make the mixture from the whole wheat and water to the paste and they brought it together with their fingers and that what creates this little beads of pasta. So that needs to boil and then we’ll dump the couscous in and take the heat off and let it sit for about five minutes just to cook into the boiling water. It's the fastest coking pasta you can possibly make.
This also water is boiling so just add in the couscous and shake the sauce pan around a little bit, turn the heat off and cover it and we’re going to let it sit for about five minutes while it cooks through.
Alright, walnuts are nice and toasted, perfect golden brown and our couscous is done. I just want to give it a little fluff with a fork, beautiful. Couscous, sultana’s plumped and sherry vinegar, I wouldn’t get the vinegar liquid, just get the raisins and sultanas out. The fresh toasted walnuts, I recommend you using not your fingertips when you do this when have a little callous so it doesn’t matter and then grab a little bit of the Feta, crumble it on top. And there we have, The Couscous with Feta, toasted walnuts and sultanas.
