Herbed Couscous Cakes With Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups cooked couscous
2 green onions, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh basil, minced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 lemon, zest of
2 tablespoons flour
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, using your hands, mix the couscous, eggs, parsley, onions, basil, cheese, lemon zest, and salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the mixture with the flour and mix again.
Form the cakes to the size you want, I made cakes about 2\" round.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and fry the cakes until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the other side.
Remove from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove some of the oil before plating up.
Salt and pepper again to taste.
