Curried Couscous with Asparagus and Blue Cheese

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Curried Couscous with Asparagus and Blue Cheese.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing 1 3/4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, gradually add the uncooked couscous and raisins while stirring gently. Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb most of the water.

2. Step 2

   After the couscous has absorbed the water, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes. This will help the couscous fluff up beautifully. Use a fork to fluff the couscous once it's ready.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, green onions, and shredded carrots, sautéing them until they are tender-crisp, which should take about 5 minutes. The vibrant colors and fresh aromas will fill your kitchen!

4. Step 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sugar, curry powder, minced ginger, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved. This mixture will add a delightful tang and warmth to your dish. Now, gently fold in the couscous mixture, sautéed vegetables, crumbled blue cheese, and sunflower kernels. Mix until everything is evenly combined, ensuring that the flavors meld beautifully.
