Couscous / Couscous Salad

I like this delicious salad very much, it is fantastic when combined with grilled meat. When we gather in a large number I usually make this salad or rice salad (you can find rice salad on my blog, too). Actually there is one more salad I like a lot and I will make a recipe for it, too.

INGREDIENTS:

125 g of couscous

190 ml of vegetable stock

1 cucumber for salad

2 red peppers

200 g sweet corn ( canned )

2 pieces of spring onions

250 g of cherry tomatoes

2 spoons of fresh parsley ( finely chopped )

Squeeze of 1 – 1 ½ lemon ( according to your taste )

Salt ( according to your taste )

80 ml of oil

250 g of Feta cheese ( cut in cubes )

PROCEDURE :

1 . pour the cooked vegetable stock over couscous and leave it covered for 4 – 5 minutes …

2 . cut the cucumber into cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the spring onion, deseed the peppers and cut them into smaller strips, drain the liquid from the canned corn …

3 . put the couscous and vegetables into a bowl, add oil and season with lemon and salt …

4 . mix the salad well …

5 . serve the salad on plates and put the cubes of Feta cheese on it …

NOTES AND ADVICE :

1 . Instead of vegetable stock you can use boiled water to pour over couscous, but in this case you should use Vegeta and salt to season the salad.

2 . Add as much lemon squeeze as wished, to make the salad sour to your taste.

3 . If there is some salad left, put it into the fridge, as it will be delicious the following day, as well.

4 . Be careful when adding the salt, since vegetable stock is already salty.

Mini fritters

Cod fritters are very well known to everybody, we eat them with a good treat or for breakfast.

It is very important that uštipci are not so thin as American pancakes and that they are not tough.

These uštipci are soft and light. Uštipci should have a white lining like doughnuts.

INGREDIENTS :

3 eggs

600 g of flour

1 package of baking powder

8 g of salt (a teaspoonful of salt)

450 g of stiff yoghurt

Oil ( for frying )

PREPARATION :

1 . Put all the ingredients except oil into a bowl and mix everything well so that lumps disappear…

2 . put the dough with a spoon or a mini spoon for ice-cream into the hot oil ( SEE THE VIDEO ) …

3 . fry the uštipci on medium heat from both sides …

4 . place the fried uštipci on the paper towel to collect the oil …

NOTES AND ADVICE :

1 . The oil is heated on the medium temperature on which the uštipci will be fried.

2 . If the oil is not heated enough, the uštipci will not grow and they will be tough.

3 . When putting the uštipci in the oil with a spoon, do not even them, just put them on a heap with a spoon.

4 . It is best to eat them hot or warm.

5 . If there are any uštipci left, put them in a suitable dish so that they do not have air.
