Cous-cous From a Box "All Jacked Up"

1 box Near East Brand Plain Cous-cous
1 1/4 cups chicken stock (can also use vege stock)
1 tsp olive oil
Any of the following "mix-ins" - dried cranberries, currants, golden raisins, sauteed garlic, shallots, slivered almonds, cheese, pine nuts, sauteed mushrooms, diced sauteed peppers, carrots...you get the idea. Use about a 1/2 of a cup of mix-ins total.

Heat stock in a medium pot until boiling- add olive oil, cous-cous and mixins. Stir to combine and cover. Cook 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and let rest 5 minutes. Lightly fluff with a fork and serve.

One of my fav combos is craisins, chopped toasted pecans and a handful of feta cheese, which I toss in when I fluff. My kids love it with slivered almonds and garlic...YUM!!!!
