Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 250 g couscous
  • n. B. water
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 onions, red
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cucumber(s)
  • 2 pointed peppers
  • 1 tomato(s)
  • 1 avocado(s)
  • salt and pepper
  • Paprika powder
  • olive oil
  • possibly chili pepper(s), dried

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Prepare the couscous according to the package instructions (I use equal amounts of water and couscous. Bring the water to a boil, remove the pot from the heat, stir in the couscous, and let it stand for 2-3 minutes). I like to add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to the water. Then stir in the tomato paste. In the meantime, peel and finely dice the red onions and garlic. Sauté the onions, then add the garlic after about 5 minutes and finish cooking. Let both cool (10 minutes is enough). Finely dice the cucumber, pointed peppers, tomato, and avocado and place in a bowl. Add the couscous and onions and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper, olive oil, and paprika. If you like it spicier, feel free to add dried chilies.
