Couscous Chicken

Hi all,

I wanted to make a dish using a non-traditional pasta to show the versatility of pastas available. Therefore, I chose Couscous. Couscous is a coarsely ground semolina pasta that is a dietary staple in North American countries. It is also widely used in Middle Eastern countries and has become popular in American dishes. It is made of semolina, flour, salt, and water. Similar to rice in shape, color, and texture, it is used in many dishes as rice would be. A grain of couscous is similar in size to a grain of sugar.

It is most often served with meat (chicken), lamb and vegetables. Everyone seasons couscous differently and there are many varieties of pre-seasoned couscous at the supermarket. Be sure to check the sodium content when selecting a pre-seasoned couscous. It can usually be found with the rice or pasta in the grocery store. I found it with the rice on the top shelf.

Black Bean Casserole

Okay, how many of you grew up thinking pinto beans (or "red" beans if you were raised in the country) were the only type of bean out there? Well, growing up in my household meant that pinto beans and cornbread were not a side dish, they were a main dish! They were cheap, easy to prepare and could feed many!

Now, as an adult, I have found a second love in the bean family....black beans. Many of us have been introduced to black beans via southwest cuisine, and thank goodness for that introduction! Black beans are full of flavor and something else that we all need - FIBER! They can be prepared in a variety of ways, including casserole form! This is a unique dish that is rich in flavor, but poor in calories and fat which means it tastes good and is good for you! And just like pinto beans, they are inexpensive and easy to prepare. In fact, this recipe uses canned black beans which makes preparation even easier.

It's easy to pair this recipe with a garden salad for a complete meal, but of course you don't want to forget to add a side of salsa or pico de gallo to kick the flavor up a little! Hope you enjoy
