Recipe from Gourmet Magazine. Super yummy, and super easy! Kids love it, too! Ingredients:
1/2 cup currants |
1 1/2 cups chicken broth |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup couscous |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 pinches cinnamon |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup sliced scallion |
1/2 cup pistachios |
2 tablespoons parsley |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cover currants with hot water. Let sit and plump for 15 minutes. In a saucepan heat the chicken broth and butter to a boil. Stir in the couscous. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing: whisk together the lemon juice, cinnamon and olive oil.

Toss the couscous with the dressing and serve.
