Couscous je jedna od namirnica koja se redovno nađe na našem stolu, obično u vidu salate, sa povrćem, u raznim kombinacijama,  ali i u slatkoj kombinaciji, kao fini kolač sa sirom, i ili kao desert sa medom i datulama. Preporučujem!

Ovaj put sam pripremila couscous salatu s ovčijim sirom, pinjolima i mentom, može se servirati toplo ili hladno, kao predjelo ili prilog, ali i kao glavno jelo. Ja i dragi smo ovaj put jeli salatu kao glavno jelo, uz svježe, tople somune, jedna jako fina i zasitna kombinacija.  Ovaj put imam samo jednu sliku, jer sam greškom izbrisala sve slike s računara, ostala je jedna jedina koju sam na sreću prije nekoliko dana postavila na Facebook stranicu. A recept ide ovako:




COUSCOUS SALATA SA OVČIJIM SIROM, MENTOM i PINJOLIMA

Priprema: 5-10 minuta
Vrijeme kuhanja: 5 minuta



Sastojci (za 4 osobe):

400 g couscousa
3 paradajza
1 crni luk
2 češnja češnjaka (ako ne volite, izostavite)
150 g ovčijeg sira (Feta)
1/2 svežnja svježe mente
3 žlice octa od bijelog vina
sol
papar
5-6 žlica maslinovog ulja
3 žlice pinjola
1-2 žličice limunovog soka (po želji)
svježih listića mente za dekoraciju



Priprema:

Couscous prelijte kipućom vodom, u koju ste prethodno stavili sol, papar, maslinovo ulje, ostavite 5 minuta, te ga promiješajte nekoliko puta viljuškom.

Operite, očistite i isjeckajte paradajz na sitne kockice. Ogulite luk, isjeckajte na tanke kriške. Ogulite češnjak, sitno isjeckajte. Isjeckajte sir na kockice. Operite mentu, osušite, odvojite listiće od grančica. te isjeckajte (krupnije).

Za preliv: u posudi izmiješajte ocat i maslinovo ulje. Dodajte sol i papar po želji. Dodajte kockice parajaza, luk i češnjak, promiješajte. Prelijte preko couscousa, promiješajte. Na kraju dodajte sir, sjeckanu mentu, pinjole i sve lagano promiješajte.  Ako želite dodajte malo svježe ocijeđenog limunovog soka.


Ovaj recept šaljem Pameli s bloga Charm Pam, ovomjesečnoj domaćici igrice Ajme, koliko nas je! koju je osmislila Monsoon. Tema je menta.
