Mediterranean Couscous Platter Recipe

Mediterranean Couscous Platter Recipe

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dry couscous
  • 2/3 cup bottled olive oil vinaigrette, divided
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions
  • 1 (6 ounce) can pitted black olives
  • 1 (5 ounce) can chicken breast, solid or chunk tuna in oil or water, or anchovies, drained
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let stand about 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff couscous with a fork, then toss with 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette.
  2. To assemble, place couscous in center of a large platter or divide among serving plates. Arrange artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives and chicken (or tuna or anchovies) separately but surrounding the couscous; drizzle with remaining 1/3 cup vinaigrette.
