simple lunch

I haven't gone grocery shopping in a while. There is really very little in my house besides produce from our CSA. I did, however, find some whole wheat couscous in my pantry so I threw together a simple lunch for myself.

2/3 C whole wheat couscous
1 TBSP olive oil
3 small cloves of garlic minced
1.5 C chopped fresh spinach
1 handful dried cranberries
1 handful sliced almonds
salt and pepper to taste

Combine couscous and cranberries with 3/4 C boiling water. Stir to combine, let it sit for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.

Saute garlic and spinach in the olive oil until spinach is wilted. Juice the lemon into the pan (in hindsight I would also zest the lemon into the saute pan). Add the couscous and almonds to the pan and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

I ate this and a bowl of fresh cherries for lunch. I am quite happy now.
