Red Beans and Couscous
Ingredients
-1.5 cups of water or broth. (I use water with a tablespoon of vegetable broth but the original recipe suggests chicken broth)

-1/4 ts basil
-1/4 ts oregano
-1 cup whole wheat couscous
-1/2 can of red beans (kidney beans)
-1 tbsp olive oil
-chopped green pepper
-1/8 cup parsley
-1 clove of garlic, minced
-1/2 cup chopped onion and celery (original recipe calls for 1 green onion and one celery rib. I buy a container of the two pre cut and mixed.)

1. Mix the first five ingredients together. Bring to a boil on medium- high heat.
2. Mix in couscous. Let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with fork.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Can be served hot or slightly chilled.
