Transcript:Cranberry Almond Couscous

Hi, I'm Charlyn Keating with About.com, and today I'm going to show you how to combine couscous with colorful and sweet cranberries and crunchy toasted almonds.

Ingredients for Cranberry Almond Couscous

For this recipe you'll need:

• Two cups of instant couscous
• Thirty-two ounces of low sodium chicken broth
• One cup of dried cranberries
• A half a cup of toasted almonds
• And a bunch of green onions

Make the Cranberry Almond Couscous

First, chop the green onions into small pieces. Add the chicken broth to a saucepan and heat to a boil.

While the chicken broth is heating up, put the dry couscous in a bowl. Add in the cranberries and green onions and combine them all together.

Once the chicken broth is boiling, pour it carefully into the couscous. Cover it with a tight-fitting lid and let it sit for at least five minutes.

Once all the chicken broth is absorbed, it's ready to go. Fluff up your couscous and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top.
