couscou

This will be a short and to the point post.  I have been making a citrus couscous for a while and everytime I make it I adjust the recipe.  I believe this recipe is the very best so I decided to share it with you.  Its nutty, fruity, citrusy, delicous and just plain addictive.  Its a great alternative to rice and its quite healthy.

Orange Couscous

1 cup orange juice

2 tbsp butter

1/4 tsp paparika

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 chicken bouillon

black pepper to taste

1 cup couscous

1/2 cup chopped nuts and fruits*

1 scallion finely chopped

Heat orange juice, butter, paprika, cumin, onion powder, cinnamon, chicken bouillon and pepper.  Bring to a boil and turn off.  Add couscous to orange juice mixture, cover and let it sit for 5 mins.  Add chopped nuts and fruits and fluff with a fork. Enjoy!

*I used a combination of walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachio, dried cranberries and raisins.
