Gluten Free Corn Couscous with Chickpeas

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This recipe for our new Gluten Free Corn Couscous takes less than 5 minutes to make and is a healthy, delicious and simple dish!

2 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Box Bacchini Gluten Free Corn Couscous
1 Jar Radici of Tuscany Chianti Baby Chickpeas
2 tablespoons butter

In a large pot, add water, salt, oil, and bring up to a boil. Take pot off heat and add couscous. Cover and let sit in pot to absorb the water (2 minutes). Add butter and gently mix in to separate couscous. Mix in beans and serve warm.

Only five minutes for a delicious grain and legume dish! The Radici of Tuscany Chickpeas are packed in extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice so they add a great texture and flavor to the couscous, I highly recommend using this specific line of beans to make this a five star recipe.
