| Israeli cous cous, basically larger cous cous then what you are used to |
This is one of my favorite quick dishes to prepare. It fills you up, has a kicky flavor (due to the red pepper flakes) and also has quite a bit of spinach, so you don't feel so bad for all the carbs. Great to serve with some kind of meat, or in our house a not-chicken patty. I used vegetable stock but you could swap out chicken stock to give it a different flavor.

| I usually buy Israeli cous cous from Trader Joe's as it is fairly inexpensive |
 |
| This day I used red onion because that is what I had, but use shallot or green onion instead |
 |
| One bag of spinach usually works, but feel free to add more if you want |
 |
| Saute onions in olive oil, of course |
 |
| Add spinach, looks like a lot, but it will cook down |
 |
| Spinach cooked down, not add the red pepper flakes |
 |
| Add cous cous and cook for about 5 minutes to brown it a bit |
 |
| Add stock about 1.5 cups liquid bring to boil and then put a lid and simmer for 12 minutes |
 |
| At the end add a bit of salt, golden raisins and pine nuts if you like |
 |
| Tasty! You could also use regular cous cous if you wanted, still just as good |
