Preparation

Step 1

Combine 1 1/2 cups of water with bouillon cube in a medium saucepan and bring it to a simmer. When the bouillon cube has dissolved, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand until the water is absorbed, then fluff.

Stir in remaining ingredients and return to medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Serve.
