Cranberry Couscous
These Flavors work so well together. A bit salty and a but sweet and perfect for a
week day lunch with friends. I found myself eating this every time I walked into the
kitchen. I could not get enough of it. It was so good that I made it twice this week.
Cranberry Couscous
1 box plain couscous
2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
5 ounce bag dried cranberries
2 green onions
1 lemon, juiced
2 ounces crumbled feta
pine nuts, toasted
1) In a medium saucepan, bring broth, salt and butter to a boil.
2) Stir in Couscous, cover
3)Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
4) Add lemon, cranberries, pine nuts, green onions, and feta.
Note, to toast pine nuts all you need to do is get a small saucepan with no oil,
on medium heat and constantly toss until golden.
Do you teach cooking/styling classes? If not, can you?
