Couscous Pilaf: An Adventure with Vegetables, Minus the Caraway
After a night out drinking delicious beer and feasting on succulent Coca-Cola braised baby back ribs, I was in the mood to cook something healthy. So when it came time to choose a dish for this week's magazine recipe review, I selected the Vegetable Couscous Pilaf from the March issue of Food & Wine.
I love the complex spiciness of Moroccan-inspired food, and I liked the fact that it was a one-pot (minimum cleanup) meal. But what really sold me on the recipe was that no fancy equipment—food processors, microplanes—was needed. I was going to be making dinner at my boyfriend's apartment, in a kitchen devoid even of measuring spoons.
