Sweet Ginger Couscous

This past Saturday I was scrounging up a meal for my husband and mother in law when I came across my couscous in the pantry. Normally I would throw some Parmesan in and be done with it but I wanted to try something a little different.

• 1 cup dry couscous
• 2.5 cups water (can substitute chicken/veggie broth for more flavor)
• ginger paste
• splenda (or sweetener of your choice)
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan
2. When boil is reached pour in couscous
3. Remove from heat
4. Add in a small squeeze of ginger paste and some splenda to taste and mix well to distribute evenly
5. Cover and let it sit about 10-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed into couscous. Should be a fluffy not sticky consistency.
6. Serve and enjoy :)
