I’m not at all hip. But we do keep kosher. And my mom bought me a great little cookbook called Hip Kosher, which took me a little while to warm up to. But now, I’m sold. Lots of easy recipes that give the illusion of being fussy. Here’s what we had for dinner last week. On a weeknight.
Stir-Fried Couscous with Chicken, Dried Apricots and Pistachios
1 3/4 c Israeli couscous/ 4 T olive oil/ 20 oz boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-size chunks/ 4 thick scallions, chopped/ 1 c chopped dried apricots/ 1 tsp cumin/ 1 tsp cinnamon/ 1 c shelled pistachios/salt and pepper to taste
