Couscous Poppers

I love Buffalo Chicken Wings. I love the spicy flavor and the fried chicken. So I'm working on coming up with a vegetarian substitute that will defeat my craving for BW3. These are pretty tasty, if I do say so myself.


First, you need some ingredients:


Oh, good, we have those!! Next, start mixing them together:


1 cup of water
2 cubes of vegetable bouillon


Boil the water with the vegetable bouillon. Add


1 cup of couscous.


Once the couscous absorbs the water (happens in minutes), mix in


goat cheese
chopped parsley
1 TBSP chia seeds (totally optional but totally healthy)


Roll into balls approximately 1-inch around. Now the messy part.


Let the couscous soak a bit in some buttermilk, then roll them around in some Panko breadcrumbs. Meanwhile, heat some vegetable oil for deep-frying. Pop them into the oil until they are golden brown. Microwave some Frank's hot wing sauce with butter, and pour this over the fried poppers. Done! Pictured above with cabbage and tofu rounding out our dinner.
