Spiced Raisin Pearl Couscous

Note: Instead of using the couscous plus the orzo, Garbanzo beans, etc you can substitute one 16-ounce package of Trader Joe’s Harvest Grains Blend.

1. Clean, then finely dice the onion.
2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet with deep sides—or use a pot. Add the onion and saute it for 10 minutes with 1/4 teaspoon of salt until onion is browned and caramelized.
3. Add the garam masala and stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken broth, butter and raisins and bring to a boil.
5. Add the couscous/quinoa/orzo/garbanzo mix. Bring back to a boil, then cover the pan and lower the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, stir vigorously, and then remove it from the heat and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes with the lid on (this will allow the raisins to plump up a little more).
6. Taste and add up to an additional 3/4 teaspoon of salt, depending on the saltiness of your chicken broth.
7. Serve with a little cilantro sprinkled on top!
