Moroccan Peanut Couscous with Peas
Couscous is a type of North African pasta made from semolina. Cook it with meat, fish or vegetables for dinner or mix it with fruit for dessert.

2 tablespoons Crisco Canola Oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup red or green bell pepper
2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
10 ounce package frozen peas (tiny deluxe, if possible)
1 cup couscous

In a 2 1/2 or 3 quart saucepan, heat the Crisco Canola Oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté until just translucent. Add the broth and bring to a boil.

Whisk in the Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter and cumin, blend well. Taste, then add salt and pepper to taste. Add the peas and bring to a boil.

Stir in the couscous and return to a boil, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff with a fork and serve
