Low-Calorie Coconut Couscous Recipe

This recipe is very simple, using light coconut milk as part of the cooking liquid (to save fat and calories) and a small scattering of green onion to give it color as well as a little bit of sharpness to counteract the sweet coconut taste.

Ingredient:

  • 1 cup light coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup plain couscous, uncooked

  • 1 green onion, white and light green parts, chopped, about 2 tablespoons

Recipe Direction :

  1. Pour the coconut milk, water, and salt into a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Pour the couscous into the coconut milk mixture, remove from the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.

  3. Add the chopped green onion to the couscous, and fluff with a fork.

  4. Serve as a side dish or top with vegetables, meat or fish for a complete entrée.
