dinner experimentation success :) took a tunisian couscous recipe as my starting point and then diverged based on what I had onhand– with wonderfully bright-flavored and pleasing results.

Sarah’s Pseudo-Tunisian Chicken & CousCous

sear, in steps, then combine:

  • 2-3 T olive oil
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced into smaller pieces
  • 1/2 an onion sliced thin
  • 5 green greek olives diced
  • 1 ripe tomato diced
  • 1/2 can black beans
  • 2 T turmeric
  • 1 T cinnamon

serve over above:

  • 2 cups couscous (steaming didn’t work, so I ended up boiling), tossed with:
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 cucumber sliced
  • 8-10 green grapes halved
  • salt to taste
