Veggie Couscous with cashews and queso fresco


Very simple, very good. Check it.

Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 C water
  • 1 C couscous (I used a sundried tomato/spinach tri-colored blend)
  • 1/2 C chopped baby carrots
  • 1/4 C salted cashews
  • 1/2 C chopped tomatoes
  • 1 T butter or margarine
  • 1-2 T olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic to taste
  • 2 cubes chicken or veggie bouillon


Directions:
  • Bring about 1 3/4 C water to a boil with the olive oil, butter, 2 chicken or veggie bouillon cubes, carrots, cashews, and tomatoes
  • Boil contents for about 8 minutes or until carrots are just about done
  • Add in couscous and stir quickly
  • Remove from heat and cover, letting stand for 5 minutes
  • Uncover, add salt/pepper/garlic to taste, and add in queso fresco; stir
Voila!
