Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons light butter (I use Land O'Lakes)
1 large carrot (grated (I grated mine using a box grater))
1 small onion (chopped)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup uncooked couscous
¼ cup raisins
1 ¼ cups reduced sodium fat free chicken broth (or vegetable broth if making vegetarian)
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
A pinch of black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the carrot, onion and cinnamon and stir to coat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add the couscous and raisins and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes to "toast" the couscous. Add the broth and salt and stir. Once bubbling (this happened right away for me), cover the pan with a lid and remove from heat. Let the pan sit, covered, for about 8 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the orange zest, orange juice, almonds, parsley, and black pepper (to taste). Stir together and fluff again before serving.
