Step cooking
- First we need to prepare all the necessary ingredients. We put a thick-walled pan on the stove and pour about 1 liter of water into it. Add sea salt to taste and bring to a boil.
- While the water is warming, we move on to the rest of the products. Sweet peppers are cleaned from cuttings and seeds. Cut into small cubes.
- Then finely chop 100 g dried apricots.
- After that, fry 100 g of almonds and grind with a knife or blender.
- Finely chop the onion greens.
- Peel the garlic from the husks and also finely chop or crush with the help of the garlic.
- We disassemble the pomegranate and select grains from it. In total, we need 20 g of pomegranate seeds. This is about 1/4 of a medium-sized garnet.
- Pour 400 g of Israeli couscous into boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes.
- We put a frying pan on the stove, pour 30 ml of olive oil and heat it.
- Put pepper and garlic in a preheated pan and fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Then add the chopped almonds and mix thoroughly.
- After this, pour boiled couscous to pepper, garlic and almonds.
- Pour 100 g of chicken stock, add chopped dried apricots, onion greens and pomegranate seeds. Add red ground pepper if desired.
- Mix thoroughly and simmer over medium heat until the broth is completely evaporated.
- Put the finished dish on portioned plates and serve it hot.
Did you know?During cooking, the bird absorbs all the water, doubles in size and does not need to be washed. You can use ptitim as a side dish or make soups with it. Now in stores you can find a variety of different forms, ranging from ordinary grains to stars and letters. As part of this high-quality ptitim, only flour and water are present. If there are eggs in the composition, then this is not baked, but ordinary pasta, and they will not turn out so friable. It is worth considering that, like any other flour products, ptim is quite high-calorie, so they should not be abused.
