I made this light lunch today of Corn on the Cob and Couscous. I slow cooked onions, garlic and parsley and coated the corn with it. I let it marinade while I cooked the beets and peppers for the couscous.
I roasted fresh peppers and boiled small beets. I made the couscous using tomato juice for the liquid, added the veggies and sprinkled the done couscous with roasted slivered almonds. The almonds gave the couscous such a wonderful taste and crunch. Really excellent.
Grilling corn is imperative summer food. If you haven't had grilled corn, yet, you a depriving yourself.
Very tasty and colorful lunch. We were very pleased with the flavors and textures.
