The golden comes from the turmeric as well as the corn and yellow bell peppers! This can be served warm as a side or at room temp as a salad.
Ingredients:
1 large yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 1/4 cups fresh corn, cut whole kernel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup couscous, uncooked
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions:
1. Saute the yellow bell pepper and onion in 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet until the vegetables are tender. Add the corn, and saute 4 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper; remove from the heat, and set the yellow bell pepper mixture aside.
2. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, couscous, turmeric, and cumin. Remove from the heat, and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
3. Gently stir in the reserved yellow bell pepper mixture.
4. Serve hot as a side, or at room temperature as a salad.
