Sweet Salsa Couscous

[apollymi]

 Here's a real shocker: sometimes, I'm really lazy and don't want to bother with a big meal. For those occasions, I have tried-and-true fallbacks that I go back to. This is one of them. It doesn't sound like it would be terribly filling, but it'll fool you: it is. 

Ingredients:

• 1.25 cup water
• 1 cup couscous
• 1 Tbsp butter or margarine
• 2 Tbsp apricot preserves
• 1.5 Tbsp salsa (as hot as you like it)

Directions:
In a large pot, bring water and butter to a boil. Add couscous and stir. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Add salsa and preserves. Serve hot.

Can be substituted:
Mango jelly or preserves can be substituted for the apricot preserves. Orange marmalade might work as well, but I've never tried it.
