Sundried Tomato and Balsamic Couscous- Easy, Quick and Totally Yummy Vegan Recipe

*Prep time: 5 minutes  *Cook Time: 5 minutes *Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 teaspoons dried basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

3-4 tablespoons oil packed sundried tomatoes

~start with three and add the fourth at the end if you want more pop~

1 cup couscous

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 cup pine nuts

Aceto Balsamico di Modena

Step 1: grab a pot and pour in your 1 1/2 cups water. Add your tomato paste and whisk together. Bring the water to a boil.

Step 2: Mix your olive oil, salt, basil, sundried tomatoes and couscous in a bowl until well mixed. 

Step 3: Give your boiling water one more whisk and pour one cup of it into your bowl of mixed ingredients. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. 

Step 4: While your couscous is sitting take your pine nuts and roast them in an ungreased pan over medium heat. Be sure to keep stirring them. In a few minutes they will turn a warm brown and get a little shiny. Take them off and set aside. 

Step 5: Once the 5 minutes is up on the couscous, fluff with a fork and stir in your pine nuts. Drizzle with Aceto Balsamico di Modena and serve.

That's it. Your done. Seriously, how long did this one take you? Like, 15 mins- tops.
