Cous Cous-Ingredients:
1 Cup of Cous Cous
1 Tbsp of Curry Powder
1 Tsp of Cumin Powder
1 Packet of Chicken Bouillon - I use the Goya Brand
2 Cups of Water
1/4 Cup of Chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup of Chopped Onion
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 chopped Walnuts
Handful of Raisins
 
Method:
Heat olive oil and saute onion and bell pepper with curry and cumin powder. After 5 minutes, add the bouillon and water, allow to boil and then add cous cous and remove from heat. Cover the pan, walk away, do something for about 5 minutes and then back to the stove for the finishing touches. Add the raisins and walnuts, fluff with fork and leave uncovered until you are ready to serve. Best served warm or closer to room temperature. Here is the recipe for The Sugar Snap Peas  and I seasoned a chicken breast cajun style and baked it for 25 minutes. I made a glaze to top it off (you can use your favorite) and viola..

Here's my table setting that night :)

Ingredients
1 lb Sugar Snap Peas
1/4 Cup of Chopped Onions
1 Tsp of Minced Garlic
1 Tbsp of Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp of Butter
1 Tsp of Olive Oil
Salt to taste
 
Method:
Heat butter and oil and add garlic and onion. Cook until onion become translucent and the mouth watering aroma starts to fill the air. (a little dramatic) Add peas and stir. Sprinkle on salt and maple syrup, cover and let cook for no more than 5 minutes. You can remove them after 3 minutes if you like them crisp or allow them to hang out for 5 minutes where they are just right me (for my taste).
 
Enjoy and Violeta, this one is for you, too :)
