One of Australia’s favourite chefs, Gabriel Gaté, is introducing Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous to tastebuds across the country and encouraging amateur and experienced food enthusiasts to get creative in the kitchen with this versatile new ingredient.

Pearl Couscous takes its name from its unique pearl-like shape and size. Tasty, affordable and easy to prepare, this delicious product is set to become an Australian family favourite.

Gourmet Pearl Couscous ambassador, Gabriel Gaté, says the unique Couscous is a dish the whole family will enjoy, providing a new and exciting taste for both adult and junior palates.

“Cooking with Gourmet Pearl Couscous is a pleasure – it takes just ten minutes to prepare a tasty meal or snack the whole family will love, and the flavours can be as simple or as complex as you like. Also, the Couscous is excellent value as it doubles in size when cooked,” Gabriel said.

Pearl Couscous can be served hot or cold, as a main, a side dish or a salad – and as it absorbs liquids while remaining al dente, it’s bursting with flavour when it hits the plate.

With a low GI rating of 52 and no additives or preservatives, Pearl Couscous is a great healthy alternative to typical staples such as rice and potatoes. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare and complements vegetable, meat, fish and poultry dishes perfectly.

Gourmet Pearl Couscous is available in 445 selected Coles stores nation-wide, as well as independent grocers and delis.
