Apricot-Cranberry Israeli Couscous image

Israeli couscous, also known as pearl couscous, is a bit chewy, a little bit nutty, and tastes nothing like traditional couscous. This has an appealing fruity flavor and is a tasty, satisfying side dish to just about any main course. We particularly enjoy it with fish.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
