Recipe Introduction


Celebrate one of this season's best -- tomatoes. Experiment with flavoured couscous mixes, or with other grains; try tabbouleh, rice, orzo, or barley.


List of Ingredients




1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp canned tomato paste
10 oz uncooked couscous
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp table salt
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
8 medium tomato(es)




Recipe



In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water, the oil and tomato paste to a boil. Stir in the couscous, lemon juice, parsley, basil, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Uncover; gently fluff with a fork and let cool completely.


Cut off the top of tomatoes, reserve the slices to use as lids. Scoop out the seeds and membranes from the tomatoes. Divide the couscous among the tomatoes; top with the lids.
