Couscous and Kale Recipe

In a medium to large pot, bring to boil the vegetable broth. Sprinkle turmeric, cardamom and coriander over the boiling broth and stir in couscous.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer per couscous package directions (about 8 to 10 minutes), stirring occasionally, until couscous is cooked through and broth is mostly absorbed. Place in mixing bowl and set aside.

In large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and saute for a minute or two until it begins to soften. Stir kale into garlic, cover and cook for about 10 minutes more. Kale will reduce considerably.

Stir kale mixture into couscous along with lemon juice, nutmeg and cheese if using. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped olives. Serve warm or at room temperature.
