Lunch today was quick, easy and delicious. I love to use couscous because it is simplicity itself. Follow the directions on the box, but you will find that couscous is basically made by pouring boiling water over the couscous in a bowl, covering the bowl for about 10 minutes and then fluffing with a fork and serving.
While the couscous is absorbing the water, chop red onions, celery, and carrots. Stir in drained and rinsed chickpeas from a can. Cut grape tomatoes in half and add them along with a pinch of dried oregano. Add a finely sliced small clove of garlic if you love garlic. When tomatoes are in season, I also like a slice of tomato which I dice and add to the other vegetables. Stir in a little red wine vinegar and olive oil (optional). Add the completed couscous. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the mixture. Garnish with a few spinach leaves and serve with pita toasts.
It takes so little time you can find the time to blog.
