If your New Year resolution included healthy eating, Jacques Pepin's vegetable couscous recipe will help get you started on the right foot. Vegetable broth is an easy substitute for the chicken stock if you'd like a vegan version of this recipe. Or add an egg and cheese to get a little extra protein.
What you'll need:
1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup onion, 2 - 3 mushrooms, 1 tomato, 2 cups spinach, 1 cup couscous, 3/4 cup chicken stock, salt. Optional: 1 egg, gruyere cheese, hot sauce, herbs

How does the egg not pop real crazy when in the microwave that long? Mine usually go wild after 30 secs (maybe he has a lower wattage microwave).

@GeordiLaForgery 7 ай бұрын

The couscous was already hot too so it will absorb some of the microwave energy? Also the tissue cover will prevent a mess if it did pop.

@bigpoppa1234 7 ай бұрын

use a fork to break the yolk, and cover the egg and it'll probably be fine, covered with the towel. personally I would just cook an egg normally on a frypan.

@hoosierflatty6435 7 ай бұрын

@@GeordiLaForgery Gotcha. I have a little tupperware I cook an egg in. It does pop pretty violently even when covered with a towel and half-connected lid but I don't break the yolk so that likely a thing.

@combatepistemologist8382 2 ай бұрын

Having other ingredients in with the egg ensures the egg only gets a fraction of the full microwave power. It's probably equivalent to cooking it at 30%. It works!

Cooking at home will go down as one of Monsieur Pépin's great contributions to culinary education. It is so well adapted to on-line viewing because it is so succinct and packed full of information. In just 5 minutes, you have picked up something you can do at home -- without having to watch the video a second time or read an ingredient list.

Thanks!!! We do Couscous family frequently, due to my late mother's Moroccan origin - but our Couscous is usually much richer, with chicken or lamb cooking with vegetables, fried/roasted almonds on top, etc. This video really made me smile, because of the lightness and simplicity and beauty of this home-cooking variation. I now really feel like doing it for my self tomorrow lunch... especially that thing with the Egg on top. Never even thought of this... Couscous??? Egg??? I'll just do it. must. Thank you again chef, and I really wish you all the best. Good health, quite and smiling life - and we all cherish your wonderful contribution to the taste of this world.

I really appreciate Mr. Pepin’s embrace of technology. Very few famous chefs would admit to using a microwave to cook something, but Jaques uses his smartly. Same with fancy ingredients; they have their place, but a good onion sandwich (I would not like that, but my partner loves them) on toasted bread is a classic. I am glad he’s still able to influence young people interested in cooking delicious food. My children adored him while growing up.

This was a simple combination of ingredients, and boy was it good. I've counted on this for decades from Chef Pepin, and it never fails. Other chefs, or even regular cooks add the unnecessary, or even too expensive ingredients for their recipes. But you can always count on Chef Pepin.

If your microwave has an auto defrost setting, I use that by pressing to the size of portion I’m cooking. I don’t do the whole process, just the defrost part, then I hit clear. I put the dish up to my face to see if it is hot. I’ve found that defrost cooks more evenly than on high.
