sweet sweet couscous

i was looking at grains at the local grocery and decided on some golden organic couscous. i dont think ive ever had couscous before but a friend was eating it the other day and i thought what the hell.

tonight i tried it with a recipe from bobs red mill. here it is:

This dish is of grain consistency and is best served with additional soy milk.

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups Soy Milk (guess what i used banana milk, which i invented)
3 Tb Almond Butter *
1/2 cup Raisins (Unsulfured) ( i used organic currants because they were cheaper)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2/3 cup Golden Couscous
1/2 cup Almonds (Sliced)

Bring soy milk, nut butter, and raisins to a boil. Add remaining ingredients and return to a gentle boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.

*Cashew or peanut butter can replace almond butter.Makes 10 servings.
