Earthy saffron is lifted by peppery green onions in this quick side dish. Serve with the halibut to soak up the tasty juices.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon saffron thread, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped green onion top
Directions:
1. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add saffron, stirring to dissolve. Cover and keep warm.
2. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add couscous; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth mixture, hot sauce, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; stir in onions.
