Green Garlic Asparagus Couscous

Yesterday, I waxed poetic about my race weekend in Vermont with the CabotFit team.

And today, I’m sharing one of my favorite type of pre-race meals.

So, this couscous dish is the type of thing I would eat the day before a long run or race. It’s also the type of dish I’m eating often these days as my weekly CSA share is pretty much predicting how I cook.

Lately, green garlic/garlic scapes have been abundant in my weekly share (more garlic scape recipes here) and we’re still getting asparagus – yay!

So, my CSA share recipe formula is:

1) Roast or grill veggies
2) Cook up pasta/rice/whole grain
3) Toss with seasonings + cheese (in this instance, the Cabot Garlic & Herb Cheddar I received a few weeks ago was the perfect match.)

I love the flavors here! I've never had garlic scapes (seriously... I'm sad about it), but I'd love a bowl of this!

I so miss my bi-weekly CSA box! I stayed at a hotel for nearly a week, and I must say I miss my kitchen so so much. Eating out everyday gets pretty old after a while. I love your formula! totally doable ;)
