We are crazy for couscous in this house and this recipe is so good...loved cooking the stuff in the OJ :) -and loved the flavor that it lent it... I don't buy it packaged so I just brought the juice (i had to dilute it somewhat with water because i only had one cup so i did 1cup grain, 1cup OJ and 3/4 H2O) to boil added the couscous and chopped apricot...was not in a almond mood (okay, I was too lazy to chop some up and toast them) so used a mix of pumpkin and sunflower seeds instead and heated those with the chickpeas - ...tossed in grated orange peel at the end (from the orange i juiced to boil) =ed DE- LISH& the most fabulously fun colors...thank so much mliss29!!! :) a new fave way to serve my Husband his favorite side! Made for the Healthy Choices Game & served with grilled tofu... but will be made again and again now :) {{and could be breakie the next day too!!! :)}}
