MINTEA COUSCOUS (VEGAN)
I found this recipe on the inside cover of a box of Morrocan Mint Tea from the Numi company. The other day I made up a small batch of this: Recipe #484658 and it worked well in the recipe. Moroccan Mint is spearmint, by the way. Skip the butter (which is one of only a few minor changes) to keep this vegan.

Steps:
- Steep 2-3 tea bags in boiling water. Set aside.
- Prepare the couscous and set aside (or heat up leftover couscous, rice, quinoa, etc.).
- Sauté onions and garlic in oil or oil/butter over medium heat until golden brown and crispy (I added about 3/4 teaspoon of sugar to help caramelize the onions a bit).
- Stir in the tomato, raisins, chick peas, cinnamon, saffron, and salt. Cook 5 minutes.
- Add strained mint tisane and simmer another 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Combine mixture with couscous (or substitute) and serve warm. Garnish with fresh dill or dried dill if desired.
