Couscous Sand Castles

spoon of couscousJust the name of this side dish is cool enough for a little kid to give it a try, and the great taste will keep ’em digging in.

1 box (5-6 oz) of couscous

1 (14 oz.) can chicken or vegetable broth

1 Tbsp olive oil

½ cup peas and carrots, frozen or pre-cooked


Cook peas and carrots according to the package directions. Prepare couscous according the package directions, but substitute the same amount of broth for the amount of water called for on the package. You can add water to the broth to make up any difference in the amount of liquid called for on the package. After fluffing the couscous with a fork, add the olive oil and the peas and carrots mixture to the couscous and mix gently.



Makes 4 servings.
