TRADER JOE'S ISRAELI COUSCOUS - HEALTHY VERSION
This is the version of the Trader Joe's recipe that I use. There is less fat and sodium (using less butter, almonds instead of pine nuts, and low-sodium salt and chicken broth), and more fiber with using whole wheat couscous. I also rarely have shallots on hand, so substituted onions with a few shakes of ginger. My family likes cilantro so I used that instead of parsley.

Add onion and saute until golden. Add couscous, fresh spices and bay leaf, and stir often until couscous browns slightly. Add broth, dry spices and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, nuts and lemon zest. Add the raisins for a savory sweet taste. Season with black pepper to taste. Serving Size:1/3 cup each - about 4 servings
