Tasty Turkish Couscous | Kerryann Dunlop 

Jamie, add more vids with this woman. She's real and that's rare these days. Refreshing!

Here the stuff u need: 1x couscous Pinch of Salt & Pepper Tea Spoun of Ground Cumin & Smoked Paprica 1x Red Onion 1x Cucumber 2x Tomato 1x Chilli 1x Corriander 1x Parsley 1x Mint Tablespoon Tomato Puree 1x Lemon

Hello from Istanbul Turkey :) as beautiful as this recipe looks, it is not very traditional Turkish kısır (we call this kısır. Here, couscous is more like a round pasta dish) we usually put loads of herbs especially spring onions, and organic pomegranate syrup is a must. we eat tomatoes, cucumber, fresh rocket, and lettuce as a side. Also we add many many spices such as dried sumac, cumin, mints, even cinnamon sometimes. But I will try your recipe as soon as possible, it looks very fresh and yummy, and also very diet friendly :)

I do this with spring onions instead of red onions I think it tastes better that way. I also add some pomegranate syrup and a little bit of red pepper paste. Tomatoes make it watery after a while, so if you're not going to finish it all at once I suggest not to put tomatoes ;) Been making this for 14 years, oh and I'm Turkish :)

This was a hit at a dinner party I hosted, and now it’s in our regular salad rotation! Super easy to customize (I use a quarter of a sweet onion instead for a more mild taste, and put in more tomato purée)

I love this woman. nice dishes and clear instructions.

This recipe is absolutely magical. THANK YOU!

Couscous salad is literally my go to dish when I can’t be bothered to cook and it tastes amazing

We call this kisir and we saute a onion with the dried herbs and tomato puree and add that to the couscous with some oil. It tastes amazing

Thank you for sharing this Turkish favorite, there are variants in the Levant too. Everyone tweaks recipes acc. to taste. My two tips are; I fry the tomato puree in virgin olive oil with the onion because it is easier on my stomach and takes away the raw taste of puree. You can change up the greens (or replace onions with spring onions too) but do not cut short on the mint. Lastly, serve with a bunch of washed ice lettuce leaves, use the leaves like spoons and bite into it, lovely.

I m in love with her accent and how she always do simple and delicious recipes. Thumbs up without doubting 👍👍

We loved this recipe.. Thanks very much

Healthy and delicious! Thanks, Kerryann!

I am SO gonna try this!

I like watching you cook Kerryann :) Simple and precise instructions with a fresh voice.

Love it . So simple .

Just made it, The couscous was awesome and the flavors bursting in each bite. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.

This is the PERFECT dish for a summer BBQ. Loving your work Kerryann Dunlop!

Kerry is awesome! Great chef with practical tips and amazing recipes

I love dis recipe.... definitely gonna make it

Omg I am so grateful for the trick with the onion, that is genius! You just made my day 😊 so simple but effective. The recipe looks absolutely delicious, can't wait to try that. Thank you!

I made the salad today and used a little mashed avocado instead of olive oil and it was simply amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Wow...looks delicious. Will try it. Thank you!

Simple and easy very yummy. Thank you so much.

ı cook it once a week but every family in Turkey has different recipy for it. But this recipy looks very lovely too.

Love this Kerryann- looks really great and healthy! :)

A good summer recipe and so good and healthy will try to get your book too thankyou

It looks absolutely perfect !

I have just made this - it was absolutely delicious . However, my wife is Turkish and waiting for her to come home and taste it for her approval :) ..wish me luck :)

I'm loving all these Turkish recipes! As an alternative to the couscous you could also use bulgur wheat (the very small fine one) which is what my family tend to use. Great dish either way, thank you for sharing! x

You explain so well! Thank you

Wonderful easy recipe that works "in no time at all"! I love it! Delicious! Thank you 💐

We call it "Kısır" and it's a real summer dish. I really enjoy with plane yogurt and some hot pepper flakes because i love it when it's spicy :))

Need to make this 👌

Simple and precise...no technical cooking language...very easily understood...

I love dishes like this. Thanks for showing us this!!!

I've just made this dish now. absolutely gorgeous although I'm not a fan of onions so I left them out but hey, it's still lovely.

kısır in turkish. my mother does it a lot. nice recipe

What a taste!!! Thank you very much, incredible gougoutes, i love it

Thankyou. ♥️. Great presentation!!

Allo darlin. Looooved this recipe. I'm always looking for alternatives to potatoes and pasta and this hits the spot. Only thing I did different was to add the lemon zest as well as the juice. It gives little burst of lemon flavour through the couscous which we loved. Thanks for the recipe and 'ave a goodun. Cheers, from Gyll in New Zealand

I'm making this tomorrow! Looks amazing, and so simple:) you're great Kerryann, I always look forward to your videos!

Looks delish!!! Thanks for posting!! Will definitely try!!!

Super simple and easy recipe! Loved it ❤️

Oh wow, I haven't seen her since '15', and now she's got a cookbook and everything! Well done Kerryann!

Love her!!

Thank you for taking the time to explain, me and my family love it. Again, thanks

Lovely recipe! Thanks

I loved your take on the couscous salad. I have a box of couscous and had no idea what to do with it. All of the ingredients that you have added (except parsley), I am a great fan of. I have give your video a thumbs up and am going to subscribe right now. Great job!!

Oh it's great to see some Turkish recipes in here keep it up :) It's called kısır and we usually do that with bulgur.

You are fantastic Kerryann thank you so much for your beautiful recepie

Just tried this recipe- it's absolutely delicious 😊

You've blown my mind with that onion cutting trick, wonderful!

Great recipe. I sometimes make a green looking version by mixing the oil, lemon juice, part of the herbs and a garlic clove with a blender into a thick dressing. I also love to add feta, cashew nuts and/or raisins.

Great video! I love the explanation as well!

Lovely recipe...thanks

I remember when you were just learning starting out with the first 15 restaurant documentary. Your so accomplished, engaging, relatable and passionate about what you do. So proud of you. And also, so grateful for this recipe. Looks yum!

I love your style! You are so grounded and not afraid just to be yourself. All of the people @foodtube are, but I feel much more close to you :) And I love couscous, definitely gonna make it, though its not turkish, ill probably add an avocado to this. Seems like a good addition!

Watched this, went and bought all the ingredients (had some but not everything) and wow it is delicious. Thank you Kerryann and your friend for sharing this - already a favourite in this house after one meal!

I’ve been doing it for so many years, I love it. I have even tried it with pomegranate and it’s amazing

Lovee it! We call it 'kısır' and you made it perfectly, maybe i'll stick to this recipe after work this evening, haha!

It's called Kısır. And if you can find pomegranate molasses, use that instead of lemon juice. It makes a huge difference!

Lovely recipe thanks for sharing ⭐️😋🇬🇧

Awesome!!looks delicious.....the best best part is how you explain every step of the way..really nice.

damn that looks sooo good

We call it 'kısır', rather than couscous. Greetings from Turkey..

Looks so good!!!

Such amazing recipe! Was super delicious and easy to make!

this looks really great! my husband is gluten sensitive so i make something like this with quinoa but i really like the use of all of the different herbs in yours. i have some dill growing i might want to try adding too (i should have bought the mint plants that i saw at the store when i bought the dill... next trip i will). i also like the little addition of tomoto paste, i'll have to keep that in mind. i was thinking when you mentioned using feta (i make a dandilion potato salad i used to use feta in until i went vegan) that i might try sprinkling some capers on it... NEW IDEAS! \o/ always wonderful!

"It's inspired by my best friend... who taught me who to make it"

Looks delicious, thanks. You're a great teacher.

Amazing recipe ! So easy and tasty, can't wait to do it, I love couscous very much

love it!! i always use bulgur instead of couscous but I think it doesnt make a huge difference :)

Now I'm doing a favor for all you guys and write the original not-inspired recipe of "kısır" ! First of all we don't use couscous we use the finest "bulgur" and it has a measurement of course. If you add a cup of it you need to add two cups of hot boiled water and of course put 2 tbs of tomato paste and 1 tbs of sweet pepper paste into the water so that you can mix them all together. Let them sit for 10-15min meanwhile chop a bunch of parsley and green onions. I personally don't like tomato in it but you can add if you want also I like cucumber and pickles. Add 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil and if you want squeeze some garlic and one lemon in it. Don't forget to add some salt and pepper to taste but that's all. Eat with celery and pomegranate sauce. Bon apetit !

Just fabulous recipe! I have tried it!

She's awesome! super helpful tips! going to try this tonight!

Since when Turkish have couscous.....Couscous is North African, mainly Moroccan

thats seems super healthy

@Kerryann Dunlop, awesome recipe, I just made it and we absolutely loved it. Thank you for putting it out there for us!

Looks great thanks Kerryann

the name of this salad "KISIR"

kısır yaptı yaa laaa

You're a great teacher. Thank you!

Fantastic video. I will definitely try this. Thank you so much 😊

Awesome! I'd leave out the raw tomatoes and add olives. Maybe some avocado too.

Sorry that's a teaspoon of cumin? Who's teaspoon, the hulks?

Just made one it was lovely Thank you..

I tried this recipe and it turn out amazing! thanks a lot!

The only difference I make to this recipe is that I replace the couc cous, onion, tomato, cucumber, spices, chilli, herbs, lemon with a burger! Then that becomes super tasty

looks delicious but what you use here is not couscous. Its called bulgur. Couscous is like tiny little macaroni pieces.. and you should try it with some pomegranate syrup, it also tastes very good:)

Amazing recipe thank you much for sharing.

I love couscous and this is definitely a beautiful dish.

well being a londoner al i knew that londoners dont know how to cook well including the chefs imao

Its called Kisir not couscous

Looks great. Going to do this. Thank you

Really, really nice receipe! Thanks for sharing!

With all my respect the couscous is Moroccan is not Turkish ...the Turkish they prepare this salad with borgul

It's name is "kısır", not "couscous salad".

This looks soooo delicious can't wait to try!

I was just looking for a couscous recipe and saw yours. You explained it in a clear way. It looks sooo delicious. I will try it. Thank you much
