Apricot-Cranberry Israeli Couscous

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup Israeli couscous
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup finely chopped dried apricots
• 0.25 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps

1. Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add Israeli couscous and stir occasionally until lightly browned and toasted, 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over couscous and add orange juice. Stir in apricots, dried cranberries, and ginger. Bring back to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, 10 to 11 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with chopped mint, and serve.
