Israeli Couscous with Spinach & Mushrooms

Ingredients

Spinach and Mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups baby portobello mushrooms
  • 6 cups spinach
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth

Couscous

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup Israeli couscous
  • 2 cups water

Method

  1. In a large pot, bring 2 tablespoons of oil to medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the spinach, salt, pepper, and broth and stir to combine. Cover and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a medium pot, bring 1 tablespoon of oil to medium heat. Pour in the couscous and stir to coat with oil. Cook for 2 minutes, until the couscous starts to smell toasted.
  6. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  7. Once boiling, decrease the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess liquid.
  8. Combine the couscous with the spinach and mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!
