Recipe: 15-minute couscous with quick feta crumble

Sometimes the best dishes are created at home according to the principle: open the fridge, take a critical look, and just go for it. The goal is to make something from whatever's on hand that not only fills you up but also makes you happy. I recently had a real hit with this approach.

Recipe: 15-minute couscous with quick feta crumble

  • The ingredients in this recipe are enough for 4 servings.

Ingredients list for the couscous:

  • 200 g Couscous
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 30 g pine nuts
  • 2 carrots
  • 250 g cooked beetroot (peeled, vacuum-packed)
  • 200 g More
  • possibly organic orange slices

Ingredients list for the dressing:

  • 100 ml orange juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 TL TK-Dill
  • 3 tablespoons of oil (e.g. olive oil)
  • Salt, pepper

Mix 1. Couscous with salt and turmeric. Pour over 400 ml of boiling water from the kettle and let it soak, covered, for about 5 minutes.

2 Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan and remove them. Clean, peel, and coarsely grate the carrots. Dice the beetroot.

3. For the dressing, combine orange juice, maple syrup, dill, oil, salt, and pepper in a screw-top jar, seal, and shake vigorously. Mix with couscous and carrots. Crumble feta over the top, sprinkle with beetroot and pine nuts. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.
