Instructions

PREP
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Combine 2 3/4 cups hot water (dbl for 4ppl) and broth concentrate(s) in a medium pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms. Peel, then dice the shallot. Finely chop 2 tsp oregano leaves (dbl for 4 ppl). Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

COOK SAUSAGE
2

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then sausage. Cook, breaking up sausage, until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min.** Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked sausage to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Drain the remaining fat from the pan.

COOK VEGGIES
3

Re-heat the large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then mushrooms, shallots and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.

COOK COUSCOUS
4

Add couscous and garlic to the pan. Stir together, until garlic is fragrant and couscous is toasted, 1-2 min. Reduce heat to medium and add 1/2 cup broth. Cook, stirring often, until broth has been absorbed by couscous. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often, until liquid is absorbed, texture is creamy and couscous is tender, 10-15 min. (NOTE: 15-20 min for 4ppl.)

WILT SPINACH
5

After the last cup of broth has been stirred in and absorbed, stir in spinach, sausage, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4ppl). Season with salt and pepper.

FINISH AND SERVE
