Goat cheese is one of those things that people either love or hate. I love it, I always have. I love its strong tangy flavor. I haven’t done much cooking at all since Ryan has been gone, so I figured today I should at least pretend to make my kitchen look occupied :-) This is a 100% original recipe, so if you hate it I can’t even blame it on anyone.
Goat Cheese & Sun-dried Tomato Couscous
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 3/4 cup uncooked couscous
- 2 tbs marjoram leaves
- 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
- 2 tbs sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
- 1/4 cup goat cheese(I used the goat cheese with tomato & basil but you can use any flavor you prefer)
To start off, heat the chicken broth & olive oil to a boil.
While the water is warming up, roughly chop the tomatoes & goat cheese and set aside.
Once at a boil, add the couscous to the water and allow to cook for approximately 5 minutes.
Add in marjoram leaves & garlic and stir well.
Mix in tomatoes & goat cheese and stir until the goat cheese is melted.
Serve as a side dish to any middle eastern dish :-D
Makes approximately 4 small servings

Yuck goat cheese I wounded if smoked gouda would work?

It may, but I don’t know it would melt as easily. Goat cheese is a very soft cheese compared to Gouda which is a super hard cheese. Give it a shot, if it works you might be onto something! :-D
