Comments on: Israeli Couscous with Roasted Tomatoes and Basil http://www.megabeth.net/?p=3285 A Vegetarian Living in a Meat-Eating World Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:54:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Megabeth http://www.megabeth.net/?p=3285&cpage=1#comment-8509 Megabeth Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:11:30 +0000 http://www.megabeth.net/?p=3285#comment-8509 It's packaged in the US as "Israeli Couscous" also known as "Ptitim" and is a cousin to couscous. Both couscous and Israeli couscous are forms of pasta. It would work definitely with the smaller couscous, just follow package directions on how to prepare it. I like the larger beads of the Israeli Couscous since it absorbs the oil a little differently. It also has a looser consistency.

Great none the less, I wonder if it would work with proper couscous. Very nice recipie – but this isn’t ccouscous – it’s a form of pasta.

I mean, I for one don't like to steal the limelight from the cook and feel it's important to maintain the integrity of my tasting process by staying as objective as possible, which sadly means not immersing myself into the cooking process. It's a sacrifice I make every day, but I do it out of love. :) Um, let’s not give the cooks out there any ideas about their in-house taste testers.
