Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 6-02 Feb 2003

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                box  couscous
  1                can  peas -- (small can)
  1                     red pepper
  1                     shallot
                        or 6 scallions -- your call
                        fresh cilantro
                        [parsley can work here too -- less noticeable]
                        Nutmeg
                        Salt?
                        Black pepper
     1/2           cup  sesame oil
                        [olive oil works o.k.] -- (1/2 to 3/4)
                        Tofu -- (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place pepper on foil in oven, turn until all sides look crispy. When
it cools just peel off the skin with a fork or fingers (you will have
just roasted a pepper!) Roasting peppers may take 30-45 minutes, so
just sliver & sauté if you're really rushed, but it's not the same
flavor.

Boil water for couscous. Follow box directions carefully, do NOT put
in too much water, soggy couscous doesn't cut it.

In saucepan, on med-hi, sauté the oil, shallots (or scallions). Add
peas, then add roasted pepper. Then add cubed tofu for about 1 minute.
Salt, pepper to taste.

When couscous is done, fluff with fork. Cut up the fresh cilantro or
fresh parsley & "fluff" in with couscous. Nutmeg makes this dish, so I
usually add about a tsp. to the couscous before mixing in the sauté.

The tofu/shallot/pea/peppers can be placed in a shallow hole in the
center of the couscous, positioning the red pepper slivers from center
to edge of bowl (this is for presentation only).

You can add or subtract any of the above ingredients depending on
availability and your time. ENJOY!

Serves 4ish
