couscous

Israeli (pearl) Couscous is round pasta that is larger than regular couscous.  It absorbs the liquid that it is cooked in and is a great substitute for rice.  I substituted the water with white wine and a smoked pork broth but any broth will work.  It is pictured here served with Jackie’s Spiced Tomato Pork Chops and Parmesan Baked Cauliflower.
