How To Make white bean, spinach and couscous bake

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently saute the onion until tender about 4-5 minutes then add the minced garlic and saute 2-3 minutes more until softened and onions are translucent.
• 2

  Add the drained fire roasted tomatoes and crush any large chunks. Add the white beans and allow to cook for 5-7 minutes or until beans are warmed through, stirring frequently.
• 3

  Add the fresh spinach and gently turn and toss so that it will start to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
• 4

  In a large bowl combine half of the precooked couscous, reserved tomato juice, minced basil, nuts, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly.

  Fold the bean and tomato mixture into the couscous mixture until combined then spread half of it into the bottom of a shallow baking dish or individual ramekins. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the dish then top with the remaining couscous mixture.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake 15-25 minutes until warmed through and bubbly. At the very end of the cooking time uncover the baking dish and put it under the broiler just to lightly brown the top, 1-2 minutes.
