Simple Cranberry Couscous

I've had this one in my files for a while, although I haven't tried it yet. Plan to, very soon! :)

• Ready In: 11 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 1⁄4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or 2 1⁄4 cups water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup  coarsely chopped dried cranberries
• 1 (10 ounce) package  instant couscous

Directions

1. Bring broth or water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Add the salt, oil, and cranberries to the boiling water. Stir in the couscous, cover, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes, covered.
3. Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve. Goes well with minted lamb.
4. Makes 4 side dish servings.
5. Julesong note: I think some chopped nuts such as pecans or pine nuts could be a good addition, as well as spices such as cinnamon and/or nutmeg.
