1 cup couscous
1-1/2 cup boiling water (or chicken stock)
1 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
1 tsp basil
1/3 cup pine nuts (or leave them out)
5 cups loosely packed spinach, torn into small pieces
1 cup grated cheese, your choice (Laura says Muenster, I say whatever, or leave it out. I've made it both with and without the cheese and it is good either way.)
Combine couscous, boiling water and salt. Cover for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, saute garlic and onion for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, and cook for 10 minutes more.
Add tomato mixture to couscous. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
Put in a 2-1/2 quart baking dish, top with cheese, and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
Note: I think I should probably double this recipe next time. Or at least the couscous.

this is yummy. I agree with Laura about the Muenster.
what protein would go well with this? Chicken? Pork? I am thinking fish, but no one in my family but me eats fish.
Thanks for saying that it works without cheese! I'll have to try it.
I serve this as a main dish, but chicken would probably do fine. I wonder about making it with quinoa instead of couscous.
I finally made this! I used quinoa instead of couscous and it was really yummy. My son likes it with the cheese (I used cheddar), but I'd eat it either way.
Thanks for sharing all the great recipes!
