Spicy, bite-sized mac and cheese balls with Israeli couscous and pimentos for a kick.
Ingredients:
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 cup pearl (Israeli) couscous
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup diced pimientos
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 3 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and toast couscous until slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour chicken broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer until most of the broth is absorbed and the couscous are plumped, which should take 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Combine heavy cream and flavorful pimientos into couscous, sprinkle in cayenne pepper, and cook until couscous is tender in 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust consistency with broth as desired.
  • Take the mixture off the heat and whisk in the Cheddar cheese until it's melted; toss in the chives and stir well. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper according to your taste.
