Curried Couscous

Curried Couscous

Here’s a sweet-savory recipe for Curried Couscous that is made for your flat-belly diet. Flavorful curry and chicken broth balance the sweetness from raisins and apples, while red pepper and parsley add color to the whole-wheat couscous. You might think of couscous (KOO-skoos) as a grain, but it’s actually a form of pasta. Couscous, which originated in North Africa, is made of semolina granules that are steamed or boiled.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons curry powder
1-1/3 cups whole-wheat couscous, dry
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Honeycrisp apple, diced
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
3 tablespoons 100% orange juice
Directions:

  1. In a medium pot, place the chicken broth and curry powder and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous; cover. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the couscous in a large bowl. Stir in the curry powder until blended.
  3. Add the parsley, apple, raisins, bell pepper, and orange juice. Stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Salmon en Croute

Salmon en Croute

Ingredients:

  • 1 salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 pounds/750 g)
  • 1 pound/500 g asparagus, trimmed 
  • Salt
  • 1/4 cup /60 ml creme fraiche
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • pound/450 g puff pastry (2 sheets)
  • egg, lightly beaten

  • Directions:

    Skin and bone the salmon and set aside. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C.

      Cut the tips off the asparagus. Reserve the stems and poach the tips in boiling salted water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well, refresh in ice cold water, then drain again, leaving to sit so that all the water comes off. Puree the asparagus and stir in the creme fraiche, dill and lemon zest to blend. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

        Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a damp baking sheet with the long edge facing you. Lay the salmon on the pastry, like a picture in its frame. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the top of the salmon with the asparagus puree. Lay the raw stems of asparagus on top of the puree, like pencils.

          Brush the margins of the pastry with the egg wash. Lay the second sheet of pastry over the salmon and press the edges to seal, like a giant ravioli. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch/2.5 cm border. Press with the tines of a fork, then, with the dull edge of a knife, scallop the edges. Make 2 or 3 slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush all over with the egg wash and bake until puffed up and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

            Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This dish is also good at room temperature.

              Wild Rice Soup

              Wild Rice Soup

              I love to have soup for dinner, and so do the kids. I’ve found it’s a great way to sneak some extra veggies into their diet, and they always enjoy dipping crackers or French bread into the broth. This creamy concoction, more sophisticated than regular chicken and rice soup, gets lots of deep flavors from the mushrooms and wild rice, so it’s equally enjoyable for the adults in the family.

              Ingredients:

              • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
              • 1 cup chopped onion
              • 4 carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced
              • 2 celery sticks, halved lengthwise and sliced
              • 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper
              • 8 ounces sliced crimini mushrooms
              • 1 quart chicken broth, good quality
              • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
              • 3 cups cooked wild rice
              • 1/2 cup heavy cream
              • 1/4 cup dry sherry, optional

              Directions:

              Step 1
              Heat a large stockpot over medium low heat. Add bacon and fry until bacon is crisp and fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

              Step 2
              To the fat add onion, carrots, celery, salt and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally until tender and translucent, about 7-8 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in chicken broth, raise heat, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

              Step 3
              Uncover, and stir in chicken and cooked wild rice. Continue to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and sherry, if using. Simmer an additional 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Ladle into bowls and top with crispy bacon.
