2 1/2 cups chicken stock


1/2 stick of butter


4 ounces chicken livers*

Directions:





Cook the rice in 2 cups of the chicken stock (cook rice in the usual manner - about 20 minutes). Reserve aside the other 1/2 cup of the stock. In a large frying pan that has a cover, fry the meat mixture in the butter until it loses all its pink coloring. (IMPORTANT, especially when using pork or organs!)





Add in the onion, celery, garlic, and peppers. Saute together about 4-5 minutes. Pour in the reserved stock and add the cooked rice. Stir all ingredients together. Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 8-10 minutes - until liquid is absorbed.





*If you can, get your butcher to grind the livers, gizzards, and pork together for you. If not, either chop them very finely or grind them coarsely in a food processor.

Cous cous is pretty straightforward but can be as complex as you want to make it.





-Start by heating a tablespoon of oil in the bottom of your pan.


-When the oil is hot, add some diced onions %26amp; garlic (or any vegetables that you'd like to include as a garnish).


-Saute the vegetables until tender.


-Add your cooking liquid to the pan, in an equal amount to the amount of cous cous you want to make. I like to use chicken broth but any type of broth or even water will suffice (just be certain to season it up while it's heating).


-Once your cooking liquid comes to a boil, pour in your cous cous, cut off the heat, and cover your pan.


-After about 3 minutes, remove the cover and ';fluff'; your cous cous with a fork.


-Serve %26amp; enjoy.



My hubby cooks couscous in chicken broth and adds a variety of herbs depending on his mood. We have fresh basil, thai basil, rosemary. Garlic is usually a gimmee in this house.
