French Couscous

By Linda Larsen, About.com

The histories of Morocco and France are tightly tied together, so it only makes sense that these two cultures should each contribute to this delectable side dish recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 oz. Brie cheese, frozen for 20 minutes
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 oz. pkg. instant couscous

Preparation:

Place Brie in freezer so it's easier to dice. Be sure to only leave it in there for 20 minutes! Meanwhile, in heavy skillet cook onion and garlic in butter and olive oil until crisp tender.

Take Brie out of freezer and remove skin; dice. Prepare couscous as package directes; when done, fluff with fork and add cooked onion mixture, Brie, and parsley and toss gently. Serve immediately. Serves 4
