stormkeeper_lovedorisIt's been a while since I've posted a recipe. Here's a very good one (tasty, not too high in fat, not too hard to make) from "Passionate Vegetarian" by Crescent Dragonwagon.
Spinach, Tomato, Feta, and Couscous Skillet Supper
One and one-half teaspoons olive oil
Cooking spray
1 onion, peeled and sliced vertically into thin crescents
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 package (12 ounces) prewashed spinach
One and one-half cups instant couscous
2 cups water
One-quarter teaspoon salt
Black pepper
1 tomato, chopped
2 to 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese
1 or 2 lemons
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or one that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Add onion and sauté, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until onion becomes translucent. Lower the heat slightly and add garlic. Stir for 30 seconds more. Add the spinach and toss with onions and garlic, then cover and heat for about 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
3. Add couscous and continue to cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the water and quickly bring to a boil, adding the salt and a lot of black pepper. Cook, tossing gently with 2 forks, until the couscous has absorbed the liquid, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato
4. Cover tightly, transfer to hot oven, and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with feta, and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff gently and squeeze lemon over it just before serving.
