My kids love Israeli couscous, my husband is impartial about them, my dad claims that it is bird food and I myself love them!
I gave up on the standard recipe which appears of the back of the package (cook in boiling water with a bit of salt and oil) a long time ago. Other recipes which give these ptitim the respect they deserve, such as this recipe come with a hidden bonus- there is no need to precook the ptitim – they are just mixed with the rest of the ingredients and put in the oven. See ya later mac n’cheese.
Upgrades: add the mixture: One tablespoon harissa/sun dried tomato spread/pesto. Add ½ cup black olives, seeds removed, halved (preferably Kalamata).
Oh my, do you guys rock! I’ve just been reading through your blog from the beginning and came across this entry. My husband and I are Brady-Bunching it and together we have 8 kids, two kids-in-law, one almost kid-in-law and a grandson, and every single one is going to be happy with this dish. I got a bag of heart-shaped ptitim in my cupboard now, supper tonight is going to be good!
I tried it out and I love it, the only think I made with Ptitim was a Moroccan milk soup but now I know something more to make with my lovely Ptitim!
Just made this buy upped milk am extra half cup bc I didn’t have buttermilk and added extra cheese. It’s so
Good I think my young Kids will like the texture! Oh I used onion power and no chives. Still delish.
What happens if I add veggies to this recipe (say broccoli)? will it be too liquid? Should I cook them slightly first?
Thanks!
