Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
• 3 green onions, washed, trimmed, and thinly sliced
• 1 cup whole wheat couscous (or regular)
• 1 3/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
• Small handful of mint, chopped

Directions

1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat add 3 tablespoons of the butter, the curry powder, and a couple generous pinches of salt, and cook for a minute or until the spices are fragrant.

2. Stir in the chopped apples and cook for about 3 minutes, enough time for the apples to soften up a bit and absorb some of the curry. Scoop the apples from the pan and set aside in a separate bowl.

3. In the same pan, again over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of butter.

4. Stir in the green onions, let them soften up a bit and then add the water and salt.

5. Bring to a boil, stir in the couscous, cover and remove from heat. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a fork to fluff up the couscous.

6. Stir in the apples, pine nuts, and chopped mint. Season with more salt and curry powder to taste.
