Flavorful Greek Couscous Delight

Ingredients

• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of couscous
• ⅔ cup of kalamata olives, with their flavorful liquid set aside
• ⅔ cup of diced red bell pepper
• ½ cup of sun-dried tomatoes, with their infused oil saved
• 1 package of crumbled feta cheese (4 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon of dried parsley, adjust to your liking

Step 1

Start by bringing water to a gentle boil in a saucepan, then take it off the heat and gently mix in the couscous. Cover the pan and allow it to sit undisturbed for around 10 minutes to let the couscous absorb the flavors. When ready, use a fork to fluff it up before setting it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the olives, red bell pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, and couscous, creating a colorful and flavorful mix. Enhance the mixture by adding approximately 1 tablespoon of the olive liquid and 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil, ensuring everything is nicely moistened. Adjust the moisture level by drizzling more oil if necessary. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, infusing the dish with its creamy saltiness. Before serving, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a final touch of brightness and freshness. Enjoy this savory and satisfying dish!
