     Couscous Primavera

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   8
Preptime   30

Ingredients
2 cups couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeño, minced
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 1/8 cups vegetable or chicken stock
pinch of cayenne
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup freshly shucked green peas
 
2 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Instructions
Put the couscous in a deep metal mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, jalapeño, green onions, salt, and cayenne. Stir until all the grains of couscous are coated with oil. Tear off a large piece of foil, enough to tightly cover the bowl, and set beside bowl so it's ready when needed. Add the stock to a saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and add the asparagus and green peas. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and pour the mixture over the couscous and very quickly cover with the foil; wrap tightly and let sit for 5 minutes (or according to package directions). Remove foil and fluff the couscous with the tip of a fork to separate all the grains and combine all the ingredients. Serve hot, or room temperature.
