-       Couscous is one of my favorite side dishes for a few reasons. First off it's very easy to make. Second it's healthy. This whole-grain food is native to northern Africa and is commonly found in Middle Eastern cuisine. Couscous is small pasta made of semolina, a form of wheat. It can be eaten as a side dish, salad or dessert, and you can use it in place of rice or quinoa.

What you need 

1. Instant couscous - 1 cup
2. Water - 1 1/4 cup
3. Tomato puree -2 cups or 400g tins of plum tomatoes
4. Onions -1/2 cup chopped
5. Garlic - 1 pod peeled and chopped

1. Salt 
2. Chilli powder 
3. Pepper 
4. Oregano 
5. Salt

Preparation

•   Prepare the couscous according to the package directions and transfer to a large bowl. But you can prepare it like this:

You should place the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the boiling water. Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside for 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed, then fluff with a fork.

• Saute onions and garlic in hot oil in a nonstick skillet until onions soften and begin to brown.
• Add fresh tomatoes or any kind of fresh vegetable and continue cooking over medium heat for 15 minutes.

• Add tomato puree, oregano, basil and water and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes longer, until flavours are well blended.

This is the final look, I hope you will like the recipe, because it is my favourite.
