Up and running
cooking and baking with
in
longest time since I last made a bento!
my substitutes:
yellow cherry tomatoes instead of red
arugula instead of cilantro (just becos I like the bite)
sesame oil instead of garlic infused oil
fine couscous instead of coarse
left out the paprika (cos I served it with mixed beans, minced beef and sausage stew)
Above: an extra bento in case anyone asked!
and I served it along side
sausage in a base of this Kacang Pool!
which I had made a big batch and freezed some.
below: the couscous I bought from the arabian grocer in Ampang near Tesco
Cherry Tomato Couscous:
1 Heaping cup couscous
3 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 cup freshly boiled water
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 lemon, halved
1 tablespoon garlic flavored oil, plus 1 teaspoon
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Put the couscous into a heatproof bowl, with 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt), 1/4 teaspoon of the paprika, and all the grated ginger. Give everything a bit of a mix before adding the hot boiled water. Cover the bowl, either with plastic wrap or a plate, and set aside.

Hi Emily,
Lovely meal! I have made this couscous too, served with some roasted chicken. Your sausage stew looks delicious! So perfect with the couscous!
Thanks for linking!
Very healthy and couscous very easy to make, only the stew is difficult lol !
