Инструкции
- Prep time: 30 min
- 1. In medium saucepan, combine broth, 2 c. water and sun-dry tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 5 min.
- 2. Line 1 large or possibly 2 small cookies sheets with waxed paper. To cold couscous mix quickly, fluff with fork; spread on lined cookie sheet.
- Let stand 5 min.
- 3. In large bowl, combine cooled couscous mix, onions, basil, olives, balsamic vinegar and 2 Tbsp. water; toss gently to mix well. Add in oil; toss gently. Serve immediately or possibly cover and chill till serving time.
- 20 (1/2 c.) servings.
- Notes: I did not bother with step two. I just poured the hot couscous into a large shallow stainless steel bowl I use for mixing/tossing big salads and let it sit there while I was washing and preparing the green onions and basil. I stirred it around a few times, and it cooled off fine.
- Also, I spread the green olives in a ring around the edge of my serving bowl. It looked nice, and they were easier to avoid for anyone who is not as crazy about green olives as I am.
