Steps

1

The best way to cook couscous is by absorption. Simply cover it with twice its volume of lightly salted boiling water and wait for it to rehydrate for 10 minutes.
2

Fluff the couscous with a fork and spread it on a tray to cool. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs in a pot of water (about 20 minutes).
3

In a bowl, prepare the dressing: Cut the mozzarella, feta, tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs into pieces. Add the pesto, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and mix everything together.
4

Plate as desired, perhaps adding a few basil leaves and another drizzle of olive oil. And voilà... Dinner is ready.

Inizio ora, a 50 anni, a coltivare la passione per la cucina.Ora che i miei figli sono più grandicelli ho più tempo libero.Trovo incredibilmente stimolante cercare e sperimentare nuove ricette, unendo inoltre la mia passione per la fotografia.Stavo cercando in rete un modo originale per creare un ricettario e magicamente mi è comparsa la pubblicità di questa app ...et voilà... scaricata.Sto creando giorno per giorno il mio personalissimo ricettario (se pubblico una ricetta è perché è stata approvata dalla mia Family e quindi ripetibile), che condivido con piacere etraggo moltissimi spunti dagli "Chef" di Cookpad che, come me, si cimentano ai fornelli.Se volete curiosare, mi sto costruendo un blog : https://semplicementecri.altervista.org/
