Tomato Couscous

My daughter loves this dish, I never seem to make enough.  So, be prepared to double the recipe next time.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat couscous

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped fine

1 Tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp sugar

2 ripe tomatoes, chopped or 1/4 cup canned tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Boil 1 cup water.  Pour 1 cup whole wheat couscous into a bowl. Once the water has boiled, add it to couscous and let sit until absorbed.
2. As the water is starting to boil, heat olive oil in a skillet.  Add onion and cook until translucent (not brown).
3. Add tomato paste and sugar to onion mixture and stir until combined.
4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes for about 5 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the couscous to the skillet and stir until combined.  Enjoy!
