The first time i made couscous, I couldn't believe how easy it was! It really is just as easy as making a Cup O Noodles soup! Using a large microwave safe bowl, combine water, seasoning packet (inside couscous box), olive oil, cinnamon, and raisins. Cook in the microwave for 5-6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and immediately stir in the couscous. Cover and set aside for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork immediately before serving. (For me, I can barely tell the difference between wheat and regular couscous. Its not like wheat pasta where it is obviously different.)

Moroccan Mahi Mahi
(Recipe adapted from Woman's Day Magazine)
Ingredients
- 1 lb mahi mahi (Or any other firm, mild white fish)
- 4 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 can (14 to 15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fish on a pan and drizzle with 2 tsp of olive oil. Sprinkle with the pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fillets are cooked through.
Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cover. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Add garlic, cumin, and cinnamon. Cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant. This is such an interesting combination of ingredients, isn't it? :D
Stir in tomatoes and olives.
Simmer for 3 minutes for flavors to blend. Spoon about 1/2 cup of sauce over each serving of fish. Serve with couscous on the side.
