The Toasted Israeli-Style Pasta by @RiceSelect is a delightful addition to any pantry.

I have always liked Israeli Couscous so it was no surprise that I like the product made by @RiceSelect. The texture is pleasant a performs like expected.

I normally use Moroccan couscous to go with a chicken stew that I like. I decided to change things up by substituting @RiceSelect Israeli-Style couscous and see how things would turn out.

I followed the package instructions; adding olive oil to boiling water and then pouring in the couscous. It took approximately ten minutes for the couscous to be ready. The final result was an al dente pasta that had a pleasant size and chewiness.

I scooped some into a bowl and topped it with the chicken stew that I had prepared.

The couscous was perfect. 

Chewy.

Temptingly tasty.

The hearty, spicy richness of the stew. The complex blend cinnamon, mace, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric, and cardamon pods balanced perfectly against the simple toasted flavor of the couscous.

Since that meal I have used the Toasted Israeli-Style Pasta by @RiceSelect in beef vegetable soup, a hearty dinner salad, and a simple side dish fortified with homemade chicken stock and garlic. I liked the couscous with soup, but having it cold in a salad was a little strange. I don’t know if I will do that again. As a side dish, the couscous was delicious.

I would recommend the Toasted Israeli-Style Pasta by @RiceSelect for both couscous and pasta lovers. Give it a try.
