MOROCCAN COUSCOUS

MOROCCAN COUSCOUS
Adapted from a recipe by Yamina Bellaachia

Combine in a Pressure Cooker and saute:
Olive Oil - enought to coat bottom of pot
3/4 cup shopped onion
1 14oz can tomato puree
1 TBS fresh cilantro - minced
1 TBS fresh parsley - minced
1/2 TBS turmeric
1/2 TBS dried ginger
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 pinch saffron
1 TBS tomato paste
1 lbs lamb, beef OR chicken*

Add 2 quarts water and pressure cook until meat is tender

In the mean time...

Cook Couscous according to package instructions but use chicken broth (or beef broth if cooking beef or veg broth if cooking vegetarian) instead of water

Remove meat from pressure cooker and add vegetables - add softer vegetables after root vegetables have mostly cooked. Then add back the meat and serve over couscous.

Vegetables may include:
Parsnip, Butternut squash, pumpkin, yams, carrots, turnip, yellow squash, zuccini, cabbage

*If making vegetarian couscous add "hard" veggies now.
