I was browsing through other vegan blogs today trying to decide what I was going to make for dinner. If you haven’t heard of the blog Vegan Yum Yum, you really must check it out. It’s a 2008 winner of the Veg Bloggy Awards, and for good reason. Lolo, the creator of the blog, makes the most decadent dishes (and is apparently working on writing her own cookbook!). And they look even more decadent due to her incredible photography. Each dish is a work of art.

So, as I salivated over her amazing goodies, I found one that looked easy enough for a fair-weather cook such as myself to whip up. And I already had most of the ingredients. Score!

What you’ll need:

3 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Basil
10-12 Oil Packed Sundried Tomatoes, chopped
1 Cup Couscous
1 Cup Boiling Water
1/4 Cup Pine Nuts, toasted
Aceto Balsamico di Modena

So here’s the link to the incredibly delicious couscous dish. I was very excited when I realized the Balsamic Vinegar I had recently purchased, though not exactly what she used, is di Modena, as she recommends. Boy is it tasty.

With all of her creations, she tells a little story about the dish, and shows the step-by-step process for creating it,  which I am so appreciative of. And again, the photos are beautiful! I would definitely make this dish again. Serves two.
