Several years ago, I came across a recipe for Greek Couscous. I had never had couscous before so I thought I’d try it. I quickly adapted into Angela’s Greek ?! Couscous. I am sure there’s not much “greek” to this, but I love it! This is one of my most favorite comfort foods. I especially love eating this for breakfast.

Your Ingredients – (peeps not included)

Greek ?! Couscous

1 cup uncooked couscous

1 package sausage, turkey sausage, or keilbasa (whatever your preference)

1 can chickpeas, drained

1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added

1/2 medium purple onion, diced

feta cheese

olive oil

lemon juice

salt/pepper

oregano

Cut and boil the sausage. Cook the couscous according to directions. (Couscous should been done w/i 5 minutes).

In a large mixing bowl, combine several squirts of lemon juice, 2-3 twirls of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few shakes of oregano.

As you combine this, you may find it a bit dry. Add a bit more olive oil.

Enjoy!

How I came across this recipe, and why I love it so are quite simply beyond me because I have never eaten anything else like this. But this combination of flavors is really tasty!! Be sure to check out all of the other recipes over Kim’s Tasty Tuesday Party!!

Happy St. Patty’s Day!

    This sounds wonderful-you are such a good cook! The only reason I know what couscous are is because my husband has made them for me. His mother is from Turkey and his father from Macedonia so he has introduced me to so many great recipes.
