Quick Couscous with Raisins and Carrots image

I make this when I need a quick side dish for chicken or pork. If you make couscous (a Middle Eastern pasta) a pantry staple, you usually have all the ingredients on hand! Add other veggies (zucchini, corn, peas, etc.) to make it your own.

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup butter
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, chopped
½ cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked couscous
¼ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the carrots and onion until the carrots begin to soften and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the couscous, mixing well to avoid lumps, cover, and remove from the heat. Let the couscous stand covered until the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the raisins, and serve hot.
