Ingredients
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
5 cups cauliflower florets (1 lb.), finely chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. orange zest, grated
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup red or black currant jelly (fruit spread)
2/3 cup couscous, 100% whole wheat
1/2 cup scallions (green onions), chopped
1. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, cauliflower and salt. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. (If you start with frozen cauliflower, you'll need to cook it for about 5-6 minutes.)
2. Stir in the chicken broth, orange zest, orange juice and currant jelly. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, mix in the couscous and scallions.
3. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and let stand for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve.
