Ingredients
4-5 side servings
- 1 medium onion, cubed
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 240g Höllenkrainer (1 pack), sliced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 100 ml water
- 3 tbsp vinegar
- 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (240g drained)
- 125g cherry tomatoes, quartered

Preparation
Preparation Time: approx. 20 min
Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add the Höllenkrainer and cook on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, water, vinegar, beans, tomatoes, cumin, cayenne and salt and simmer until the tomatoes are cooked.
In the meantime, bring the vegetable broth to a boil, stir in the couscous and remove from heat. With the lid on let the couscous soak up the liquid for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork and then add to the pan with the rest of the ingredients.
Stir well and season to taste with salt and fresh cilantro.
