8 servings, 3/4 cup each | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped (1 cup)
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), snipped into strips
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
• 2 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• Dash of hot sauce, or more to taste
• 1 1/2 cups couscous
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and tomatoes and stir until the onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme and stir until the mushrooms give off their liquid and begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add broth and hot sauce and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat and cover. Let stand until the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. With a fork, fluff the couscous and stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
