Couscous and Beans


Ingredients:


8 oz Couscous
1 small onion, chopped
1 can black beans (14 oz) rinsed and drain
1 tsp dill weed
1 Tbsp parsley
1/4 tsp cumin ground
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp grated FRESH ginger
1 clove garlic (grated)
2 cups chicken broth (heat in microwave for 2 minutes)
1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce


Directions


In a large skillet, saute onion in olive oil until golden brown.  Add couscous, ginger and garlic and keep stirring until couscous slightly browned.  Add salt, pepper, parsley, cumin, dill weed, soy sauce.  Add 2 cups broth and the beans.  Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often (may stick to pan).


You can add more or less spices to taste.  I made this recipe up so just play with it.  If you come up with anything else that would be good to add, let me know.  We were thinking of adding corn next time.
