Orange-Couscous

By Greywolf

If you haven't tried couscous this is an excellent recipe to introduce it into your diet. This can be eaten warm or cold. You can pack the mixture into a container and refrigerate. Upon chilling it will turn into the consistency of a packed bread pudding. It is an excellent breakfast.
