Ingredients

  • 1 cup couscous uncooked
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 handful of rainbow chard stalks only, finely chopped
  • 4 tomatoes chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon pine nuts toasted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring 1 cup water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup couscous, mix well and remove from heat. Let sit for 4-5 minutes and then fluff with a fork.
  • Over medium heat, warm 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.  Add onion, garlic and rainbow chard stalks. Cook until soft and onion translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and a bit of water (not more than 1/4 cup). Cook over low-medium heat, allowing tomatoes to soften and liquify. Cook for 5-8 minutes.
  • In a separate small pan, toast pine nuts over medium heat until golden brown.
  • Fold pine nuts into tomato mixture. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the couscous in the middle of a platter, surrounded by tomato mixture. Once presented, fold ingredients together.
