About a week ago I found a recipe that I liked in a search on a site. And I loved the site, mostly the fun mexican meals section. So I haven't made the spoonbread yet. I didn't get anywhere near the end of that section browsing. I noticed today there are three recipes for it so I will compare them. www.meals.com/Recipes/PrintFriendlyRecipe.aspx?RecipeID=27809&Servings=6 |

The beef and rice noodles were a big hit with everyone. The sauce was half fish sauce to one of soy sauce, with chili and garlic in with the vegies.

I guess I will add part of next fortnights menus on, and next week start from the start of a week so others can add theirs if they want to. I haven't made much of a start, there were stirfry meats in the grocery catalogue, we already have beef in the freezer.

The first cous cous we tried that wasn't plain was a recipe that sounded nice that someone mentioned and they shared it with me. It also got me started with serving cous cous with rocket or possibly arugula, not sure if they are exactly the same or slightly different.
Sausages on Capsicum Couscous with Onion Gravy
Serves 6.
2lbs beef sausages (preferably with pepper, white or black pepper not capsicum or chili)
10 1/4oz San Remo cous cous
a little more than 1 oz butter
1 1/3 pints (US) boiling water
5oz chargrilled marinated capsicum, thinly sliced (I get a jar to keep in the fridge)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh continental parsley
pinch of salt
1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tab plain flour (all purpose?)
1/3 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups beef stock or slightly more
2 oz baby rocket leaves to serve.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook until brown and cooked through. Put on plate covered with foil to keep warm. Meanwhile, place the couscous and half the butter in a large heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water while stirring with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Use a fork to separate the grains. Add the capsicum and parsley and stir until combined. Taste and season with salt. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook stirring for 3 minutes or until onion softens. Add flour and cook, stirring with a flat edged wooden spoon, for 1 minute or until mixture boils. Gradually add the wine and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens. Gradually add the stock, stirring and bring to the boil between additions until stock is incorporated and gravy thickens. Taste and season with salt. Spoon couscous among serving plates. Add arugula and top with sausages. Drizzle with onion gravy and serve immediately.
