Couscous Salad

Couscous Salad – The Best Ever!

August 20, 2015/in Cook /by Judy

This Couscous Salad is truly an all-time favorite from my recipe book. It can be made well in advance – perfect for an end of Summer or Labor Day BBQ! Enjoy.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup dried currants

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1/8 tsp. powdered saffron

1-1/2 cups chicken stock

1-1/2 cups couscous

1-1/2 cups diced celery

1/3 cup green onion, sliced thin

1/3 cup pine nuts

1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 cup olive oil

Salt & pepper

Directions:

Soak currants in enough water to cover them for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

In large skillet, melt butter and stir in saffron over medium heat.

Add stock and bring to boil. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let mixture stand 4 minutes.

Transfer couscous to a large bowl, breaking up any lumps with a fork.

Add celery, currants, green onions, pine nuts and parsley. Mix well.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and cinnamon.

Add olive oil in slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss.

Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Makes 6 servings.

*May be made 1 day ahead and stored, covered in refrigerator until ready to use.

End of Summer Essentials

August 17, 2015/in Enjoy /by Patty

It’s hard to believe another Summer has passed us by! The City Farm has a great selection of items for your end of Summer BBQ. Some of my favorites are the Stamped Ramekin Set; fancify your table top with this cute trio for your condiments. What a whimsical idea to offer your guests their silverware settings in our cute chicken wire galvanized metal Preserve Jar Silverware and Basket Set. And when not in use for the eats, you can transform the basket into any kind of storage!

At the ranch, I love to make Mint Juleps and with this Classic Cocktail Bar Set, you are guaranteed to make your guests happy. This 8 piece set is a must have!  Last but not least, you won’t want to miss out on this great Bon Chef Apron to keep your clothes clean while at the barbi. Once a Bon Chef always a Bon Chef!

Here are a few of my other favorite end of Summer goodies:
