Lemon Israeli couscous with fire-roasted bell pepper strips served with clams in white wine sauce

Here you go with the recipe:

Ingredients:

Roland foods Israeli Couscous- 1 cup

Zest of half a lemon

Roland foods fire-roasted red bell pepper – 1/2 cup rinsed and drained

Water – 11/4 cup

Salt, pepper, and red chili flakes for seasoning

Garlic – two cloves chopped fine 

Littleneck clams- 2 dozen (scrubbed well)

Olive oil – 2 tbsp

Fresh Italian parsley- 2 tbsp

Dry white wine – 3/4 cup

Method:

  1. Heat a  small pot with a tablespoon of butter and the zest of half a lemon. Over low to medium heat, let the flavors of lemon get infused with the butter for a minute or two. 
  2. Add in the rinsed and drained roasted red bell pepper strips. 
  3. Now add the Israel couscous and toss everything together. By doing so you are toasting them a bit. Let them toast for about a minute or two. 
  4. Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups of chicken broth, stock, or water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered for 10 minutes.
  5. Fluff with a fork. Set aside. Now let’s start making the clams in white wine sauce.
  6. In a very large pan, add the olive oil and sauté the garlic over medium heat until lightly golden (about 2 minutes). Add in the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
  7. Add the wine to the pan and cook for 3 minutes in medium heat until the liquid slightly reduces.
  8. Turn heat to medium-high. Add the clams to the pan and cover to steam. As they open, remove the clams into a large bowl and tent with foil to keep warm. Any claims that have not opened after 7-10 minutes should be discarded (because they are dead).
  9. Serve the clams over the lemon couscous and garnish with fresh parsley!
