Lemon-Pepper Cous-Cous
What you need:
2/3 cup dry couscous
2/3 cup hot water
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 (15 ounce) can low-salt garbanzos
lemon-pepper seasoning, to taste
What you do:
1. Add the hot water to the couscous, and set aside.
2. When the couscous is ready (about 12-15 minutes), toss garbanzo beans with liquid in the microwave for about 20 seconds to heat.
3. Drain garbanzos, and pour the couscous over the garbanzos (or vice-versa).
4. Stir in the scallions, and add lemon-pepper.
I suspect that this would be even better with some steamed brocolli and carrots tossed in (the possibilities are endless), but this was the simplest of simple meals. I had 1/2 last night and the other half is beckoning to me from the staff room fridge.'

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I thought this was great, but I added some things. I thought it could use some veggies so I sauteed a sweet onion and some green bell peppers. I made a double batch, so I used one can garbanzos and one can black beans. I also used a lot of lemon pepper and some salt.
I highly recommend squeezing on a bunch of fresh lemon juice before serving. Very fast and easy!
