Mushroom and White Bean Stew over Couscous
Ingredients: 1-1/2 pounds small whole white mushrooms 1-1/2 cups couscous 1-pound can stewed tomatoes 1-pound can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Grated Parmesan cheese (optional) or use soy. 1 cup diced onions 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1-1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning 2 cups water 2 pinches cayenne pepper Instructions: Quickly rinse and dry the mushrooms, and trim off the ends of the stems. Cut any large mushrooms in half. Coat a large nonstick wok or 12-inch skillet with olive-oil cooking spray and preheat over medium to medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, garlic, and Italian seasoning, and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. While the mushrooms are cooking, place the water in a 1-quart saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous and cover. Remove from the heat, and allow to sit for 5 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Using a knife, slightly cut up the tomatoes in the can. Add the tomatoes, beans, and cayenne pepper to the mushroom mixture. Stir to mix, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir the parsley into the couscous. Divide the couscous among individual serving plates, and top with the stew. Serve immediately, as is or topped with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Susan Powter   |
