Festivity Couscous
Serves 6-8 as a side dish, 4 as a main course

My only pomegranate experience was as a high school kid many, many years ago. There was sort of a craze that must have caused a dramatic, but brief rise in pomegranate values. Strangely, I've never been tempted to buy one since. This recipe might change that; this one is almost too easy.

1 box (7.6 oz) plain couscous
2 cups water
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp each paprika, ground cumin & ground coriander
seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Bring water to a boil in a pot, add couscous, 1 Tbsp oil, salt, raisins and spices. Stir to mix. Cover with lid, turn off heat and let sit for about five minutes.

Remove lid, fluff the couscous with a fork, add remaining oil and stir. Reserving some for garnish, stir in pomegranate seeds and cilantro.
