Couscous With Apples and Cranberries
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups couscous (Israeli / Middle Eastern)
1 large apple
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup slivered almonds
4 springs (2-3 Tablespoons) chopped fresh rosemary
1 lemon
Preparation
Boil the couscous for about 5 minutes until al dente. Drain and put aside to cool. Drizzle a little olive oil on the couscous to keep it from sticking.
Toast the slivered almonds in a skillet until they turn light brown (few minutes). Put aside to cool.
Chop the apple into bite sized chunks and squirt a little lemon over them, so that they don't turn brown.
Putting It All Together
Combine the couscous, apple, cranberries, rosemary and almonds in a large bowl. Squirt the remaining lemon and toss gently. Chill until you are ready to serve. Yummy!
Happy Memorial Day!
