Introduction
This is a great meal to include in your camping or back packing trip. After a long day on the trail it really hits the spot. If you happen to catch a trout, you have a gourmet meal in no time! You can use dehyderated diced chicken if you wish, but add it to the spice packet so it can re hyderate.
Ingredients

1 cup couscous
1 small package (1/2 cup)dried mushrooms, any type you like
1/2 cup chopped dried tomatoes (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 pine nuts, toasted or sliced almonds
2 tsps chicken bouillion granules
2Tbsps minced dried onions
1Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 small can chicken meat

Bring 2 to 2 1/2 cups cups water to a boil.Add mushroom/spice packet and let sit off the heat a few minutes to rehyderate mushrooms and tomatoes. Adjust salt as needed.

Bring back to a boil and add canned chicken and couscous, stir briefly to combine.Remove from heat and cover until all water is absorbed.If too dry add a little more hot water and let sit a couple of minutes.Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts before serving.
