New CousCous Recipe

So I had some Kale, Mushrooms, and Chicken broth left in my fridge from some other recipes I made this last week. So I thought to myself, what can I make to use these ingredients that will be yummy but still be a side dish.
Here's what I came up with:

The walnuts will give you a little crunch - but if you are looking for a crunchier side saute the onions for a little less time.


1 c. kale, chopped finely
1/2 sm. onion, chopped
1/2 c. mushrooms, chopped
1/4 c. walnuts, chopped finely
1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. water
1 c. couscous

Saute the kale, onions, mushrooms, walnuts, and garlic in the olive oil until the vegetables are tender. Add the broth and water and bring to boil, add the couscous stirring quickly. Cover and remove from heat. Let sit about 5 minutes and fluff with fork. (*add a little salt, pepper, and oregano to flavor)
I made 1/2 c. cooked side dish as a single serving which equals 2 points.
Enjoy!
