sausage and couscous.. lunch in 15 minutes

apologies for the camera phone and tupperware, i wasnt planning on blogging my lunch but its just so good.. we bought sausage at eastern market on sunday and i wanted to use it up today so this morning (at 6 am) I put the sausage in a pan with loosely chopped onions and tomatoes, a little vinegar, olive oil and black pepper.. i let that cook and when the sausage was almost done i cut it into bite size pieces. then i dumped in a can of chick peas and let it all cook on low for a few more minutes.

at the same time i steamed a pan of couscous.

when that was done i combined the sausage with onions and tomatoes to the couscous, added half a finely chopped raw red onion and half a fined chopped raw red pepper and mixed it all together. if i had fresh parsley that would have been perfect but it was great just like this.

i threw it all into two tupperware containers and it turned out to be SUCH a good lunch.. i almost finished eating it though.... and its only 8:45am....uh oh. soooooo goooood.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
