Description

Pearl couscous looks like a grain, but it’s actually a type of pasta. It is made of tiny spheres of toasted durum wheat semolina flour. Similar to pasta in texture, it becomes slightly chewy when cooked, similar to orzo. It cooks fast and can be served plain, simply seasoned with kosher salt, or you can dress it up in a variety of ways.

  • 100% durum wheat semolina
  • Great source of fiber, protein, calcium, and iron
  • Easy and fast to prepare
  • Product of Turkey
  • Net weight: 16oz. (454g)

  2. Add salt and 1.5 cups of boiling water.
  3. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer.
  4. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until tender.
  5. Drain.

Suzy's Tips

Pearled couscous is one of my favorite quick side dishes – and it’s so versatile! Here are some ideas for how to use it:

  • Salads: Pearl couscous adds heft to a Mediterranean couscous salad.
  • Grain bowls: Make delicious dinner bowls using pearled couscous as a base.
  • With pesto: This is a little unconventional, but you can toss cooked pearl couscous with a little pesto and use it as a base for grilled chicken for a quick meal.
  • In soups and stews: Add some cooked pearled couscous to your favorite soup to add bulk. (It’s phenomenal in my lemon chicken soup!)
