Couscous with Brussel Sprout Rapini and Carrotsġ bunch (approx 1 lb) brussel sprout rapini, washed and cut in to 1 inch pieces (USE ALL OF IT!)Ģ cups couscous, prepared according to directions If you’re interested in trying it be sure to do so soon because it’s only going to be around for another week or so. Here is one of the recipes that I made with the rapini this week, but it’s also great with pasta, in stir fry or on it’s own. It’s sweet and very flavorful, and is incredibly versitile. I’m so excited to report the Spring is just around the corner here in Portland and boy are we ready for it!

One my favorite things that we have right now is Brussel sprout rapini, which essentially is the flowering top of the brussel sprout plant just before it flowers.

Vegetarian pho usually has a mixture of veggies and tofu, including, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, etc. There are lots of different types of pho, including seafood, chicken and vegetarian. Most places also offer hoisin or plum sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce and sriracha so you can add some salt/spice that is to your liking. The dish is served with a plate of herbs and spices (Thai basil, cilantro, jalapenos, lime, etc.) as well as bean sprouts for you to add as you like.

I can see this being great with pasta or mixed with fresh or roasted veggies.
