Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup couscous I used tri-color for interest, but use regular, whole wheat, whatever
  • ¾ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • ⅛ to ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro if you don't like cilantro, omit or use parsley
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the orange juice, water, ginger, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Heat until just boiling. When boiling, add the couscous, turn off the heat and cover with the lid. Leave undisturbed for 5 minutes. Open and add the onions, pine nuts, and cilantro. Fluff together with a fork. Taste and adjust seasonings.
