Sugar Snap peas, toasted pecans, and couscous

You know how it is when you are low on groceries?  When you stand at the fridge and stare, hoping something that sounds good will magically appear?  Tonight, I knew I wanted to try making couscous, but I hadn't really prepared a menu plan for tonight.  The menu said:  couscous.  Hmmmm.  I must have gotten distracted.

So, this is what I threw together.  It took less than ten minutes to prepare, start to finish.

First, bring 1.5 cups water to a boil.
Add in one cup whole wheat couscous, stir, cover, and turn off the heat.

Toast some pecans at 350 for about five minutes.  I used my toaster oven which heats up quicker than the oven.

Throw some steamable sugar snap peas into the microwave.  Cook for about 5 minutes.

Add a teaspoon or so of curry seasoning to the couscous.

Plate it up:


She loves sugar snap peas!

I read all sorts of fancy tips for cooking couscous and maybe one day I'll try them.  Tonight was about getting something together quick!
