It's one of those cozy, fall foods that I love to make and of course eat. These beetroot mushroom couscous are just a fall dream.
THE INGREDIENTS
Beet Couscous Let's start from the basics. I am trying the beet couscous for the first time and it is not mandatory to use the specific ones in the recipe. It is good, however, to use the thickest couscous available, which are the so-called Israeli couscous. For me, these take this particular recipe to the next level.
Mushrooms Use whatever mushrooms you like. It doesn't matter in this recipe.
Wine White wine is ideal. But if you don't have it, you can also put red.
Onion and Garlic They make this recipe even tastier. Personally, because I love garlic, I overdo it a bit. I put 4-5 cloves. You can put as few as you like.
Vegetable broth The vegetable stock adds extra flavor, but it's not necessary if you don't have it on hand. You can also use plain water as long as it is warm.
