Broccoli Couscous

I have posted about couscous before but here is a couscous recipe with broccoli that I had tried a few times.  I sort of just made it up.  It is really quick and easy and a great alternative to rice.


10 oz of fresh or frozen broccoli (cut up)
14 oz reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 cup uncooked couscous
Salt and pepper to taste


1. If you are using frozen broccoli- thaw and drain it first
2. Season chicken broth with salt and pepper and bring to a boil
3. Stir in couscous and broccoli, cover and remove from heat.  Let is stand of 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.  
4. Fluff with a fork and serve


I have seen other recipes that add chickpeas to this or even lemon juice.  Play around with the ingredients!
