Legend of Fall( Apple seriers)---'Just do your best and that is what matters'

Curry, Apple, Andouille,Raisin,Pecan, Spinach Couscous

Someone that I admire and regard as 'rock' told me, he also got frustrated sometimes, it was kinda unexpected, I thought only the little me that often gets shocked. Think about it in another way, in fact all of us have something to be bothered by, and it is good because this makes us feel like part of something, being responsible for something, and we are so important :)

And only when we are busy, those little surprises, brought by a cute flower on the sidewalk or a glance at the sky that is so bright , would be able to brighten our day. It is going to be sunny on Sunday, I think that is a reward for the hard-working of all of us so far , we know we did our best, and that is what matters, I wish you a super relax for the coming long weekend.

My apple:

This is an apple , chicken andouille, raisin, pecan and spinach couscous with curry flavor.Andouille is a kind of cajun flavor sausage. I used the prepared Trader joe's Chicken andouille. it is a little spicy , good match with curry flavor.

I like couscous for the two reasons:
1. it is a kind of pasta( actually there is some debate here), which means PROTEIN
2. it is super quick
So for me, it is like a busy-person's rice.

I kinda made it in risotto's way.
1. saute curry powder and a little bit cumin first-- this kind of spices needs to be heated to let the aroma come out.
2. same pan, brown sausage, saute onion, mushroom,
3. add couscous, brown it
4. add wine
5. chicken stock and raisin,
6. when couscous is almost done( the stock is almost gone), add apple, and pecan. spinach
7 . at the most end, add half tsp of butter OR olive oil. (it is a french way :)
Move the pan from the heat, stir it HARD to prevent it from binding together( the last butter also helps in this way)

Oh, I also find my new favorite apple flavor: Ambrosia, it is so sweet and
I can't believe it is apple!
