Couscous, or what I'm probably having for dinner tonight.

Couscous is some pretty awesome stuff. It's just little bits of semolina pasta from North Africa, but it's versatile and tasty. I've made both sweet dishes and savory dishes with couscous, and here is one of my favorites of the latter type. You can jazz it up however you want, but this is how I most often enjoy it.

1 cup water
1 vegetable bouillion cube
1 packet Goya Sazón, tomato & cilantro flavor
about 1 tbsp olive oil
about 1 tsp dried basil
about 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
about 1/8 tsp ground mace
1 can sweet peas, drained
1 cup uncooked couscous

Place water, bouillion cube, Sazón, oil, spices and vegetables in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the water boils, stir in couscous, turn off heat, and cover saucepan. Let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.

One-pot, quick, easy and VERY tasty!
