Saffron Couscous with Chickpeas and Raisins

This afternoon I decided to mix some couscous willy-nilly with some other stuff I had around. The result was very yummy! I bet it will be especially tasty tomorrow once all of the flavors have mingled.

1 cup veggie stock
1 pinch saffron
3/4 cup whole wheat couscous
juice from half a lemon
a few spoonfuls of chickpeas
a couple spoonfuls of raisins
zest from half a lemon
2 tsp flax oil
3 pinches of cumin
3 pinches of coriander
sprinkle of fresh italian parsley
salt to taste.

1. Put veggie stock and saffron into a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Remove pot from heat, add couscous, cover. Wait ~10mins or until water is absorbed.
3. Add everything else, mix, let sit for a bit to let the flavors blend. Enjoy hot or cold!
