Lemon-Pepper Cous-Cous, etc.

2/3 cup dry cous-cous
2/3 cup hot water
one scallion
one can low-salt garbanzos
lemon-pepper seasoning

Add the hot water to the cous-cous. While you’re waiting for the cous-cous to
soak up the water, thin-slice the scallion. When the cous-cous is ready (about
12-15 minutes), toss garbanzo beans in the micro for about 20 seconds to heat.
Drain ‘em and pour the cous-cous over the garbanzos (or vice-versa), stir in
the scallions, add lemon-pepper to taste (ours goes a long way), and eat!

I suspect that this would be even better with some steamed brocolli and carrots
tossed in (the possibilities are endless), but this was the simplest of simple
meals. I had 1/2 last night and the other half is beckoning to me from the
staff room fridge.

Deep-frying: In wok, heat oil to moderately hot. When
ready, piece of coated meat will rise to surface
immediately. Fry meat in small batches; drop in 1
slice at a time to avoid sticking. Cook until lightly
brown, about 1 minute. Drain on Chinese strainer or

toss with sauce until beef is hot coated. Push beef
out of sauce, dribble in cornstarch paste to lightly
thicken. Recombine. Serve immediately.
