This is an excellent couscous recipe and really easy:)

4 tbsp of olive oil
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups chopped up zucchini
1 cup chopped carrots
1 onion (chopped)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1. In a pot bring bring the stock, olive oil, cinnamon, and tumeric to a boil.
2. Add the couscous and boil for 1-2 min or until the liquid has been absorbed.
3. Remove from heat and fold in raisins, zucchini, carrots, onions mix well.
4. in a small bowl mix together lemon juice and 2 tbsp of olive oil....pour this over couscous and toss to coat. Cover and refridgerate overnight (for best taste)

I'm serving this with maple glazed salmon and broccoli tonight.
