Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Uncooked couscous
  • 2 cups Water For Couscous
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 2 cups Kale Chopped and massaged for a minute
  • 2 Tbsp Butter We use Kerrygold Salted Butter
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms Chopped
  • 1/2 cup Water For Mushrooms
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder Or a few fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper We use Lemon Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Raisins

Method
 

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil for couscous
  2. Chop mushrooms and add to a warm frying pan with butter. Set to low and allow mushrooms to turn dark and shrink. Once they are starting to just brown, add 1/2 cup water and allow to simmer on low. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add pre-cooked or grilled chicken at this time if you want to turn this into a full dinner.
  3. Meanwhile, chop kale and add to a pan with coconut oil, allow to grill, turning often.
  4. Add the couscous to the boiling water. Stir for about 30 seconds on low to allow some water to evaporate. Cover the pot and turn the heat off. Allow the couscous to absorb all the remaining water for a few minutes.
  5. Add the raisins to the pan of grilling kale and allow raisins to heat.
  6. Add the mushroom water stock to the pot of couscous and recover.
  7. Add the kale/raisin mixture to the pot of couscous and stir. You can add a tablespoon more of coconut oil at this time if you desire more coconut flavor. Also add more salt, pepper and garlic pepper if desired.
