En Recetín We want children to get used to discovering little by little the numerous products that exist in the kitchen and that we are not used to preparing on a daily basis. If we invite them to come to the kitchen and we tell them what that food we are preparing is about, in addition to receiving a gastronomic class, the children will learn to better value the diversity of foods that nature offers us and the benefits for their diet and health .

One of those products is couscous. It is a food based on wheat semolina, very energetic therefore, and because of its shape of tiny balls, it is very attractive for children. Besides, its flavor is delicate and similar to that of pasta or rice. Where you have to get it right when preparing couscous for children is in the accompanying foods. In this recipe we have chosen delicious seasonal mushrooms, chicken and the much appreciated and nutritious nuts.

  • Total time:

Ingredients

  • 1 bowl of couscous
  • 1 bowl of water
  • 1 chicken breast, diced
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 small onion
  • One garlic clove
  • 150 grams of mushrooms
  • 75 grams of raisins
  • 50 grams of almonds
  • 25 grams of pine nuts (this time we did not have)
  • 50 grams of butter (better without salt) (we do not use it)
  • 3 garlic clove
  • Curry, oil and salt

Preparation

  1. First, we fry the carrot and onion in oil in brunoise or very small cubes.

  2. We set aside and in the same oil we brown the pieces of breast with salt and pepper and reserve them.

  3. We add oil to the pan again and now we sauté the chopped mushrooms with a little minced garlic and salt

  4. When they are almost done, we sauté the raisins and the nuts together with them.

  5. We remove from the fire.

  6. To prepare the couscous, we boil the bowl of water with a little salt and the curry in a pan or flat saucepan.

  7. The curry has a very characteristic flavor and children may have tried it with chicken (chicken curry is very famous).

  8. We can dare adding just a little so that its flavor does not dominate the plate and the children can decide if they like it or not.

  9. Once the water boils, remove the pot from the heat and spread the couscous

  10. Cover, and let rest for five minutes.

  11. This is the secret of couscous, not to cook it directly on the fire but to let it rest with the same amount of water as couscous.

  12. After five minutes, we uncover and loosen the couscous with a fork and a little butter or oil

  13. Finally we mix with all the ingredients that we had sautéed: the mushrooms, the vegetables, the chicken and the nuts.

We can serve this couscous as a single dish, since it is very balanced as it contains meat, cereals and vegetables, that is, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Besides, couscous fills you up a bit.
