Couscous with Fresh Peas and Mint

Instead of serving instant rice again,
make a quick batch of couscous
dressed up with peas and mint.
The recipe takes only fifteen minutes and
adds fiber and a green veggie to the dinner plate.

Ingredients:
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups Israeli couscous
1 cup fresh peas
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
butter

Directions:
Bring broth and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium pan.
Stir in couscous and peas.
Lower heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently,
until couscous and peas are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Stir in mint and cook 1 minute.
Add butter, salt and pepper to taste.
