The ingredients for Veganomicon Tomato-Caper Couscous are:

28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups whole wheat couscous (uncooked)
2 tbs. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
Generous pinch cayenne pepper
2 tbs capers, drained

Here is how you make Veganomicon Tomato-Caper Couscous:

In a medium bowl, strain the juice from the tomatoes to measure 1.5 cups of juice, squeezing as much as possible to remove excess liquid. Discard any remaining juice; if not enough juice is available to total 1.5 cups, add either vegetable broth or water. Gently crush any large chunks of tomatoes and set aside. Combine the juice, olive oil and oregano in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Stir continuously and add the couscous in a steady stream. Quickly stir in the salt, cayenne and cloves. Stir to combine, turn off heat, cover pan and allow to sit for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, fold the tomatoes and capers into the couscous, and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes to warm the tomatoes.Serving Size: 4 servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RDYER9.
