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.
