Minted Couscous
How can something so simple taste so good? I have a huge stack of Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazines that I'm trying to purge so I'm going through them one by one to pull recipes I like. Couscous is so quick and easy to make which makes it perfect for a weeknight meal. This recipe requires only a few ingredients but was really great with some grilled chicken and garlic roasted broccoli. I didn't have a lime so I just picked a lemon from the tree in the backyard and used that.

Minted Couscous

1 cup couscous
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup torn mint leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in couscous; season with salt and pepper. Cover and, off heat, let steam in the pan, 5 minutes.
Add scallions, mint, oil, and lime juice; fluff couscous with a fork.

Apple, I think basil would be a good substitute in this. You could also substitute a bit of crushed garlic in place of, or in addition to, the green onions.

Based on the Moroccan way of stewing meat with fruit, here lamb is marinated with mushrooms and herbs, then cooked slowly with dried apricots. Shredded cabbage and fresh mint enliven the couscous accompaniment.

It's good that this dish requires only a few ingredients. It's rather simple in the process of cooking too.

Couscous makes an easy, elegant platform for grilled chicken, pork chops, lamb, shrimp, or other main dish foods. Mint gives this version bright flavor, and pomegranate seeds add jeweled color and crunch.
