Asparagus Couscous

So, the grocery store had some AWESOME looking asparagus. I bought it on impulse. Some veggies are like candy to me, this is one. The cold weather is keeping me and McKinley in today, so I had to throw together some lunch for myself. I whipped out the couscous and had an afterthought to add some of that lovely aspargus, this was so easy...it took only minutes. Here's what I ended up with...all I can say is YUM!!!!!!!

Asparagus couscous

1 box couscous

chicken broth (if you prepare couscous with broth, I used water in this recipe)
parmesan cheese, fresh grated
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

sea salt, fresh ground

5 or 6 asparagus stalks (or as many or as little as you'd like!), woody ends removed, remaining stalks chopped into bite size pieces.

Prepare couscous according to box instructions, add sea salt to taste. When the box calls to remove boiling water from heat, add couscous and cover add asparagus. The steam from the boiling water will cook the asparagus so that it is still crunchy.

After water has absorbed, add parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and serve.

Enjoy!
