Apricot-Cranberry Israeli Couscous

Directions

Ingredients :

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 cup Israeli couscous

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup orange juice

⅓ cup finely chopped dried apricots

¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Methods :

Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add Israeli couscous and stir occasionally until lightly browned and toasted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over couscous and add orange juice. Stir in apricots, dried cranberries, and ginger. Bring back to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, 10 to 11 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with chopped mint, and serve.
