pearl couscous with mirepoix _______________I used a prepackaged mirepoix but it is so easy to replicate with individual ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 cups dry pearl couscous
- 5 cups water
- 4 tsp better than bouillon mushroom base (or any base desired)
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large saucepot on the stovetop. Stir to combine. Heat to boiling, then lower heat to a simmer and cook 10-20 minutes, checking often, until couscous and veggies are tender.
- *Dried seasoning options to try: thyme, oregano, basil, paprika, garlic, or sage - or any combination thereof! Start small, maybe 1/4 tsp at a time, until you find your perfect balance.
