With garlic, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, it's a great side dish for just about any entrée. “It relies on a boxed item to get started; then it's just a matter of adding a few ingredients,” says Elizabeth Tomlinson of Morgantown, West Virginia
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1-1/4 cups water
1 package (5.6 ounces) couscous with toasted pine nuts
1-1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, saute onion in 1 tablespoon oil for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the water, contents of seasoning packet from couscous mix, bouillon and remaining oil. Bring to a boil.
3. Stir in onion mixture and couscous. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in tomatoes and cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
