I got this recipe from 101 Cookbooks, I think we might have this for lunch tomorrow! Curried Apple Couscous Recipe
I suspect you could make this with plums with good results as well.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter1 tablespoon curry powder1 medium apple, cored and chopped3 green onions, washed, trimmed, and thinly sliced1 cup whole wheat couscous (or regular)1 3/4 cup water1 teaspoon sea salt1/2 cup pine nuts, toastedSmall handful of mint, chopped
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat add 3 tablespoons of the butter, the curry powder, and a couple generous pinches of salt, and cook for a minute or until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the chopped apples and cook for about 3 minutes, enough time for the apples to soften up a bit and absorb some of the curry. Scoop the apples from the pan and set aside in a separate bowl.
In the same pan, again over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in the green onions, let them soften up a bit and then add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, stir in the couscous, cover and remove from heat. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a fork to fluff up the couscous. Stir in the apples, pine nuts, and chopped mint. Season with more salt and curry powder to taste.
Serves 6.
