Golden Couscous

Couscous is a very tiny pasta. It is not a grain and a staple of many North African countries. It is made from semolina (coarsely ground durum wheat) and water. The couscous is then coated with flour to prevent them from sticking. It has a nutty flavor. I usually also add sultanas (golden raisins).

This Roasted Cauliflower, Tomatoes, & Pepperoni Pasta is really delicious. Cauliflower seems to have made a come back. I love roasted cauliflower. I have many cauliflower recipes on this blog. You can use short pasta, such as penne or fusilli for this recipe, though I was told by my Italian opera singer friend that short pasta is for peasants!

Mexican Salsa Vinaigrette

Mexican Salsa Vinaigrette is great for salads. I don't know why you can't buy ready made Mexican salsa dressing. I would think it would be very popular. Every time we make tacos there are always leftover meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, shells, etc. We make taco salad with it the next day for lunch. My husband makes this wonderful dressing that it perfect for this great salad.

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas Fresh chickpeas are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. Fresh chickpeas are available only a few weeks a year in farmers and specialty markets. I happened to walk into a wonderful ethic market the other day and it's the first thing I spotted. I bought them without knowing what to do with them. They are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. This method sautés them in their shell and you eat them like edamame.
