Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cans tuna (canned, in water)
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 medium carrots (grated)
- 0.5 cups hummus
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the 1 cup of couscous, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb the water.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna from 2 cans, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, grated carrots, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the tuna mixture. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes, until heated through and fragrant.
To serve, spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus on each plate. Top with a portion of couscous, then spoon the warm curried tuna and carrot mixture on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
