BUTTERNUT SQUASH & COUSCOUS PATTIES WITH BROCCOLI SALAD
I tried a few new recipes lately and I have to say that I fell in love
with these two. These Butternut Squash & Couscous patties were sooo
flavorful and paired with the Broccoli Salad made the perfect warm weather meal.

switch off the heat. Let it sit for about two minutes. Fluff it with a fork.
-Mix cooked couscous into the squash along with the ginger, all the spices and cilantro.
-Take a small portion in your hands and make a ball then gently flatten to form disks.

flipping and repeat the process for the other side too.
