I saw this Cous-Cous Paella at http://yumsugar.com and thought it’d be great to make for dinner one night because it seemed simple and nutritious, plus I love paella. Well, this turned out nothing like paella at all. It was still good, but it was more like cous-cous with a bunch of different things thrown in as well. I don’t know if I’d make it again, but it was still pretty good and took about 15 minutes to make. Recipe after the jump.
Cherry tomatoes are so good. I love to just eat them as a snack.
Cooking up the kielbasa and peppers.
