Introduction
	My daughter and I made this last night to go with our meatloaf. Erica called it Confetti Couscous because of all the different bits and pieces so thats what I will name it. It came out wonderful, with it's variety of sweet, salty and crunchy textures.
Ingredients
	1 1/4 cups cold water 1 cup couscous 1 1/2 tsps chicken bouillion granules 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp turmeric 1 tsp dried oregano leaf 2 Tbsps butter 1/2 cup raisens 1/4 cup toasted pinenuts 1/4 cup dried tomato bits (I used my own dried grape tomatoes)
Directions
Step: 1	Bring water to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. When boiling, add raisens, tomato pieces, bouillion, herbs and spices and butter. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
Step: 2	While broth is simmering, melt a dab of butter in a skillet and add the pine nuts, stirring constantly as they burn easily. Toast to a golden brown. Set aside. Remove the broth from the heat and add the couscous, mixing well. Cover and let sit until all the water is absorbed. Add pine nuts and stir well.
