    I made this as a side, but it can also be an entire meal in its own with some salad....

    In a medium size pot (or large saucepan) gently heat 2 tbsps olive oil. Add 1 small red onion (diced fine), 1/2 cup toasted roughly chopped almonds, 1/2 cup diced apricots (i use dried, organic ones). Saute on low heat until onions and apricots are soft and translucent.

    Add 1 cup uncooked couscous and 1 1/2 cups veggie stock. Stir well. Add 1 tbsp. lemon zest. Stir. Cover and let sit (no heat) for 10 minutes.

    Uncover, fluff and add 1/4 cup chopped (fine) mint leaves, 2 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Turn heat back on to low and stir until well combined......serve.

    You hooker....dinner from a box! How dare thee! Hahaha. I'll get "Hooker Safe" recipes together and hand them to you on the 8th! BTW, I was informed that Todd-o may join us....FAB! And remember the rock art show the following weekend! Also I think my Crystal Ball wants a holiday get together that weekend but I will get back to you on that one...as the rule with get togethers at my house "pregame it baby, cause it's dry, oh so dry!!!" hahaha. Anywho...will get the recipes together and will also let you know about staying in the city on the 8th.

    This is much easier than texting! hahaha.

    Peace,
    J
