Even a baker has to eat dinner, and sometimes this baker is way to busy to cook everything from scratch. So here's my favorite quick dinner. In a pot over medium heat cook1 can of seasoned black beans (vegan), 1 can tomatoes and chills( juice drained) and mix in some of your favorite spices, I like Cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer. 5 minutes before beans are done cooking add the juice of 1 lime and 2 tbsp fresh cilantro. I like to garnish this with chopped pickled jalepenos, a sprig of cilantro, and a wedge of lime. This meal not only tastes great, but your whole house will smell amazing. No one has to know it only took 10 minutes to make. I usually cook brown rice with this, but tonight I had a craving for Israeli couscous. Well, time to go eat I'm starving.
Tip for today: To spruce up couscous, first saute some chopped onions in olive oil. Once the onions start to get translucent add spices and the couscous to pot and toast the couscous. Then add reqired amount of water. This will give your couscous a nice toasted and nutty flavor.
