This isn't really a recipe; it's more of a meal idea. My recent ex-girlfriend turned me on to Near East brand Couscous (she turned me on in a lot of other ways too). You can find a 12-pack of my favorite variety, garlic and olive oil, on Amazon here. You can also pick this up at Wal-mart for about $2/box.
It's really simple to make. You just boil 1.25 cups of water and two tablespoons of oil with the spice packet. I use canola oil even though you should use olive oil. Once it comes to a boil, stir in the couscous and remove from the heat source. Cover and let stand for five minutes, and then fluff with a fork.
Here's what I do to make it a meal. I take a can of chicken that I usually get from Costco, drain the water, cut up the chunks a little, and then stir it in with the couscous. This is really a good, quick meal for singles and it only costs about $4 in total. You can have this once for dinner and then again for tomorrow's lunch. Two meals for $2 apiece. That's a deal.
