Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine couscous, eggs, cheese and basil. Mix well with hands.
- 2
Sprinkle flour over the top and mix again.
- 3
Heat olive oil in medium skillet.
- 4
Form couscous mixture into patties. (I use a 1/2 cup measuring cup, pushing the mix in lightly and then turning it out into the pan)
- 5
Gently press the cakes down with a spatula to flatten slightly.
- 6
Brown on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
- 7
Drain cakes on paper towels to remove excess oil
- 8
Serve. I always like to serve with thickly sliced tomatoes, but they are delicious all on their own.
