August 9, 2009
Quick tip: Always cook your corn the day you buy it because it starts losing it's sweetness as soon as it is picked.
5 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
- Cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- 1¼ cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1¼ cups uncooked couscous
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons diced pimento
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Wrap garlic in foil. Place garlic and corn on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt over corn. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Unwrap garlic, and mince. Combine garlic, corn, broth, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; gradually stir in couscous.
- Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; stir in onions and pimento.
