A Great Simple Side Dish

I love couscous, but I could keep eating it serving after serving after serving.

So, as a compromise, I came up with the following side dish- Spinach Couscous.  You still get all of the couscous goodness, but some of the serving is now a veggie which fills you up more.

Boil 2 cups of water.  Add a chicken boullion cube or chicken base, or just use chicken broth.

Drop in a package of frozen chopped spinach.

Once the water is boiling and the spinach is no longer frozen, add a cup of couscous.  Turn off heat and cover.

After 5 minutes, stir and fluff.  Viola!


Now, I like my couscous more on the wet side.  If you prefer a drier dish, simply decrease the water.
