Ingredients

1 cup organic cous cous
2 teaspoons organic coconut oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon organic ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon organic ground turmeric
1-1/3 cups homemade chicken stock or low salt Chicken stock
1/4 cup Organic Dried Figs – finely chopped
3 tablespoon Organic Dried Currants
1/4 cup Pistachio Kernels, chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley – finely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste.

Substitutes:

· For the ideal Roast Turkey stuffing, you can switch the Figs for Organic Dried Cranberries
· Toasted Slivered Almonds can be substituted for the pistachio nuts.

Method

Heat oil over medium heat in a medium size saucepan. Add onion, garlic & spices and sauté for a few minutes until onion softens. Add couscous and mix through well. Add chicken stock, bring to a simmer, remove from heat, cover and let stand until couscous has absorbed all water, about 5 minutes.

Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in figs, currants, pistachio nuts, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To reheat stuffing, place in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and heat in microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes or until really hot. Better still place 1 - 2 tablespoons of water to the stuffing mixture and reheat in a saucepan on your stovetop.
