Mango Raisin Couscous ( Cous-Cous) image

I saw this in a magazine and tore it out but don't remember what magazine. Was in a doctor's office. I'll post the ingredients as they were written but I made a couple of changes when I made it. For the jalapeno and tomato.. I used a 10 oz can of Rotel which I drained. I added some canned Manderin Orange slices at the end. I also added a couple of tablespoons of ginger syrup (recipe #123111). The end result was outstanding. I served it with shrimp scampi.
