couscous cakes

May 22, 2012 by Marin Mama 38 Comments

couscous cakesDid you ever have one of those Mondays where you get so much done and have tons of energy?  I had that day yesterday and it was an amazing way to start up the week.  I accomplished more in 2 hours then I had the whole weekend.  Whoo hoo!  I even had some extra time to write up this post, so you’re getting 2 posts already this week and it’s only Tuesday.  Bonus!  Who am I?  I don’t know, but I like this new me (don’t get too excited as this is not normal for me).

So I cooked up some salmon last week and whenever I cook up salmon my kids ask for couscous as their side dish.  Basically my kids equate salmon with couscous.  Anyway, I was getting bored of the traditional couscous fare.  Couscous reminds me of white rice, just plain and unassuming, so I was excited when I saw this recipe for couscous cakes in Fine Cooking magazine. These cakes sort of reminded me of my chickpea veggie burgers.  

These patties are so easy to make and require a few simple pantry ingredients, AWESOME!  I even made the patties earlier in the day and then sautéed them up right before dinner, the perfect make-ahead recipe.

couscous cakes:

recipe from Fine Cooking

makes 8-9 patties

  • 3/4 cup couscous – I pack a hefty 3/4 cup of couscous
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf or italian parsley leaves 
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten – I found using large eggs not extra large works best here.  
  • finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil – you will use this later to cook the cakes

Put the couscous and 1 teaspoon salt in a small pan.  Add 1 cup boiling water to the couscous, cover with the pan lid and let sit for 4 to 5 minutes.  

Coarsely chop the garlic in a food processor.  Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped.  Add the chickpeas and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until coarsely chopped.Here is what your mixture will look like after it’s been chopped.Uncover the couscous and fluff with a fork.  In a large bowl, add the couscous, the chickpea mixture, eggs, and lemon zest and mix until well combined. Press the couscous mixture into a 1/4 measuring cup, smooth the top, and invert the measuring cup to release the cake onto a plate.  Repeat with the remaining couscous mixture to make 8-9 cakes. 

I always throw my mixture in the fridge for a bit before I make the couscous cakes, so the mixture can gel together.   Note:  To make these a make-ahead meal, you can refrigerate the patties ahead of time and sauté them up right before dinner.  You can also refrigerate the mixture as is, and make the patties right before you sauté them.  Either way works.Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.  

Add 5 of the couscous cakes to the skillet and then use a spatula to lightly flatten the cakes so they’re about 3/4 inch thick.   Just take a spatula and gently press down on the cakes once they’re in the skillet to flatten them. Cook, flipping once, until the patties are crisp and golden brown on both sides. The recipe said 2 to 3 minutes per side, but mine took a bit longer, like 5 minutes per side.  Just make sure to cook them till they are golden brown on each side.  Transfer the cooked patties to a paper-towel lined plate.  Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and cook the remaining cakes the same way. You can serve these up with just about anything. I gave the kids a couscous cake and some broccoli along with their salmon.  John and I paired one with a spinach salad and some salmon.  I also love serving these alongside a soup, such as my cauliflower soup.  These would even be great topped with my tzatziki yogurt sauce as a lunch-time entree.  Feel free to jazz these up anyway you choose. I could see adding some red or green onions to them as well as possibly substituting cilantro for the parsley leaves.  This is a great and basic couscous cake recipe.  

Family verdict?    These were rated a 10 in my house and I will definitely be making them again!  Got leftovers?  Just throw them in a 250 degree oven to warm them up.

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup couscous - I pack a hefty ¾ cup of couscous
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled
  • ¼ cup packed fresh flat-leaf or italian parsley leaves
  • ½ cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten - I found using large eggs not extra large works best here.
  • finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon (about 1½ teaspoons)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil - you will use this later to cook the cakes
Instructions
  1. Put the couscous and 1 teaspoon salt in a small pan. Add 1 cup boiling water to the couscous, cover with the pan lid and let sit for 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Coarsely chop the garlic in a food processor. Add the parsley and pulse until finely chopped. Add the chickpeas and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  3. Uncover the couscous and fluff with a fork.
  4. In a large bowl, add the couscous, the chickpea mixture, eggs, and lemon zest and mix until well combined. Press the couscous mixture into a ¼ measuring cup, smooth the top, and invert the measuring cup to release the cake onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining couscous mixture to make 8-9 cakes.
  5. I always throw my mixture in the fridge for a bit before I make the couscous cakes, so the mixture can gel together.
  6. Note: To make these a make-ahead meal, you can refrigerate the patties ahead of time and sauté them up right before dinner. You can also refrigerate the mixture as is, and make the patties right before you sauté them. Either way works.
  7. Heat 1½ tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

    if it was ok to use spry lite then would they be free on the slimming world diet?? Can they be done in the oven please?

      Hi Mags. I have no idea what the slimming diet is, so I can’t answer your question about spry light, but I will tell you that you can use a healthy cooking oil like avocado oil. Avocado oil is a healthy fat, so it’s actually good for your body. I have never baked these, but you could try baking them at 350 for 30 minutes flipping halfway until both sides are browned. I would line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a silpat. I would also flatten the patties with the spatula (like I do in the skillet) before you put them on the oven. I would also suggest lightly brushing both sides of the cakes with some oil, so they brown up a bit.

    Hello! These look yummy. I am obsessed with cous cous!
    How long do you think these are good for after they are made?
    Would you refrigerate or freeze? Thank you!

    I made this tonight (with the cauliflower soup you previously posted) and it was very tasty! My 2 and 4 year olds didn’t like the cakes (despite generally liking all the ingredients), though the 4 year old liked dipping hers into the soup. I’ll definitely make them again as a ‘mom lunch.’ Thanks!

      Hi Sweetie! So glad to hear that you liked the cakes. Your kids are little, so the cakes may not appeal to them. I don’t think my kids would have liked them at ages 2 and 4 either. 😉 Happy to hear that they loved the soup though. That’s one winner 🙂 xoxo, Jackie

      Hi Shira! 1 cup of couscous make roughly 2 1/2 cups cooked, so I’m thinking 3/4 cup would equal 2 cups cooked? I’ve never measure the exact amount of cooked couscous for this recipe, but I will next time I make it. I hope you have enough! xoxo, Jackie

        Thankyou so much for your speedy reply, which meant I was able to make these for dinner as I had hoped. I had less than 2 cups so I filled the rest of the way with leftover quinoa. I also did not have parsley but did have some dill. I added a little extra dry dill because it didn’t look quite green enough. They were delish!!!!!! I will have to look around at your other recipes. What a fun way to use up my boring couscous.thanks

          Awesome Shira! I try and always get back to reader’s questions as fast as I can. I’m so glad that you had almost enough couscous and that you improvised with the dill and quinoa. I’m sure they were beautiful with all the green from the dill. Yes, please check out my other recipes. I have some amazing kale salads and tons of recipes with quinoa! Let me know what you make up next! Have a great night! xoxo, Jackie

      Hi Jennifer! I’m not vegan so I don’t really know too much about vegan cooking, but I do know that eggs serve as a binding or gluing agent in this recipe. They help to hold the patties together. I know that silken tofu can be used to bind things as well as egg substitutes, such as ener-g. I wish I knew more about vegan substitutes but unfortunately I don’t. Here’s a website that I found that has some helpful info. http://www.wikihow.com/Replace-Eggs-in-Your-Cooking
      I hope that helps 🙂

      Hey Amy! Thanks for commenting and letting me know you made and loved these. What’s this Romesco sauce? Please pass it on.

      Did the girls like these? I will totally keep the veggie recipes coming. I have a meat one up there today for my meat loving friends. I am trying to find meatless recipes that the kids will like as well as John and I so I don’t have to make 2 separate meals. Did you see the refried bean tacos? They are easy and kind of plain, but the kids loved them!

    I love to make these little couscous patties. They are great too for picnics and parties!

    Just in case, you might miss my reply , here are my answers to your recent query:

    …The Aussie KA is actually different from the American KA! To be able to use the US version of KA in Australia or any Asian countries, we will need a transformer to convert the voltage of the appliance. If not, we will fry our appliance with the power surge! I thought of buying the US kind of KA initially because the US KA is more powerful than the Aussie KA but the transformer that I need to get is too BIG and ugly for my kitchen…LOL! So, I have decided to buy the Aussie one with 5 years warranty. Mine is actually an old model which I can’t find it anymore in the current range and it’s KSM 150, Metallic Silver Artisan range (tilt head) and I bought it in Apr last year. And yes…I actually have a beater attachment that has a scraper so that it can reach the bottom of the bowl but even using that, I have to stop occasionally and scrap the bottom of the bowl too.

    For bread making, I would strongly recommend a bread maker because it kneads really well and is temperature control and allow the bread to prove more efficiently even at wintery weather. I do use my KA for bread making but usually during warmer days. For dough that is quite tough to knead, I would prefer not to “fry” my KA and use bread maker at the safer side.

    I love shopping for appliances and can’t buy anything anymore because my kitchen is too “full”…Ops! I hope you will have fun shopping 😀

New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a ser New blog post! I’m going to be introducing a series on the blog called, Recipes for Life. I’m not exactly sure what it truly is, or where it’s going to evolve to, but I do know that it’s going to be a place for me to journal my thoughts, share insights and to connect with you all on a new level.  I’ve been hearing the whispers to share in this way for a while, but I’ve been procrastinating and holding back, because I was waiting for the perfect message to put in a post, but I’ve learned that there is no perfect message, or perfect time to start anything new, there will always be an excuse and there will always be a self-created obstacle. Sometimes you just have to just start with a first draff, and get those words out as they are today, and trust that someone needs to hear those words, or message at this specific point in time. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m starting out in draft form and taking the first step.

If you’re looking for ways to incorporate more veggies into your diet, then these roasted red peppers make it easy, as they are jam packed full of flavor! Roasting them with a bit of avocado oil and some Celtic sea salt adds a sweet smokey depth of flavor that’s hard to describe in words. These roasted peppers will be your new go-to, as they literally take no time to prep and bake up! They’re a great stand alone healthy snack, or make a stellar side dish that pairs with just about anything!  I make these at least 4-5 times a week, (if not more) as I use them in just about EVERYTHING. Click on the slides to see step-by-step photos and the recipe is below! 
INGREDIENTS:
*3 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
*roughly 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
*few pinches of fine Celtic sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash pepper, and holding from the top near the stem, slice the pepper straight down each side to form 4-6 big pieces. This keeps the seeds and ribs intact in the center and not all over your counter.

Slice the big pieces of pepper into thin slices.

Toss sliced peppers onto the baking sheet, drizzle them with avocado oil and a few pinches of sea salt, and mix them all together. 

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for roughly 12-15 minutes, giving them a toss with some tongs around the 10 minute mark, until tender and slightly charred on the skins.
Eat them straight off the baking sheet, or let cool and store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
