You can enjoy couscous in a tasty way with these fresh basil and oregano couscous cakes. They're crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and smell great thanks to the fresh herbs. This is great as a side dish or a light starter.

Ingredients: 1 cup couscous. 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 2 eggs, beaten. Salt and pepper to taste. Olive oil for frying.

Instructions: In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover with a lid, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Transfer the cooked couscous to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes. Add the chopped basil, chopped oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and beaten eggs to the couscous. Mix until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into small patties or cakes, about the size of your palm. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the couscous cakes in the hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the couscous cakes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the fresh basil and oregano couscous cakes hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
