Greek couscous

Here you have the Greek couscous …after Greek chicken (that I’ve been preparing often lately) and the Greek shrimps (that I need to prepare again soon), here we are with a couscous Greek version!

Here I am writing again on the blog. After a long post-lockdown pause (I believe I am not the only one who didn’t cook that much after those days when we were often cooking, baking, kneading…), I begin again with a light and easy recipe, that will keep you little time in the kitchen. I don’t know you, but I can’t stand warm weather anymore. I know that a Brazilian shouldn’t say that, but, as my psychologist says, I absorbed a lot the European culture and so one warm season is more than enough.

It is a different summer this year. For me for so many reasons, but also because having our children in smart working, we have had them at home for the longest period since school days. I’ve not been that much in the kitchen because of the hot weather, but I tried to prepare things they like. I tried some new recipes that I will be publishing the next days, as soon as I prepare them again to take photos.

This Greek couscous is very easy and quick to prepare. It can be a solution for a summer dinner, as it was for me when I found it on the Italian blog La Cucina Imperfetta.
