CAULIFLOWER AND COUSCOUS PILAF







1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

4 cups finely chopped cauliflower florets (about 1 medium head)

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup Craisins

2/3 cup whole-wheat couscous

1/2 cup sliced scallion greens

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cauliflower and salt; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth, orange zest, juice and Craisins. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in couscous and scallions. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
