the best couscous & kabobs

 The other day I decided to experiment a little bit for dinner. I've actually never had couscous before this recipe and it was about time I did. I found this recipe on the box and the result was delicious! It calls for fresh, healthy ingredients.. whats not to love? 

 For the couscous you will need: 

• 1 cup of couscous (I used the PC Marrakech couscous)
• 1/4 cup of roasted garlic olive oil (I just roasted garlic and mixed it with olive oil) 
• 1 cup of chicken stock (use the healthier version)
• 1 cup of chopped cherry/grape tomatoes 
• 1/2 cup of chopped green onions 
• 2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley 
• 1 tbsp of lemon juice 

1.  In small saucepan, bring stock to a boil. Place couscous in large bowl. Pour hot chicken stock over. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes
2.  Fluff couscous with a fork. One at a time, stir in tomatoes, green onions, oil, parsley and lemon juice
3. You're done!

 For the kabobs we really just threw it all together. Since the boyfriend and I are not the biggest fan of veggies I stuck to red peppers, onion and mushrooms. You can put anything you desire but thats what we did. 

For the marinade, I used a garlic and herb marinade from PC (lazy I know) but my lovely blogger friend Miss Kait has a wonderful recipe here, that is DELICIOUS and would work wonderfully for these kabobs. The only reason I stuck to something quick was because I had no time to keep it marinading.

It was an amazing dinner that I'm definately going to try again! 

ENJOY!
