Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce box couscous
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Directions
- Place the couscous in a bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water and stir. Cover tightly and let stand for 10 minutes.

Quick Tip
It's easy to vary this basic recipe. Use spinach instead of Swiss chard, almonds in place of pine nuts, or currants as a substitute
for raisins.
