1 roasted red pepper, packed in water. (approx. 1/2 cup) |
1 pinch cumin |

2 tablespoons olive oil |
parsley, to taste |
Directions:
1. Chop up the roasted red pepper and let drain while you do next step.
2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, olive oil, salt, cumin, garlic, and allspice. Bring to a boil.
3. Stir in couscous and sprinkle with parsley. Cover and remove from heat immediately, let stand for 5 minutes.
4. Fluff with fork and serve.
