Savory Couscous
1 Tbl. butter
½ cup carrot, shredded
2 Tbl. green onion, finely sliced
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 ¼ uncooked wheat couscous, small grain
2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 Tbl. fresh basil, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat. Add the carrots, green onions and mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 1 -2 minutes until the mushrooms have softened slightly. Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the dry couscous, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let the sauce pan sit completely covered for 5 – 7 minutes. DO NOT PEEK. Sprinkle the pine nuts and basil over the top and toss with a fork. Serves about 4 – 6 people as a side.
