1 1/4 cups chicken broth or bouillon

1 cup couscous

1/4 cup dried apricots -- finely chopped

2 green onions

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 large cloves garlic -- minced

Place broth in a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave, uncovered,

mins. Sprinkle vegetables with paprika and cayenne, then stir until

evenly distributed. Remove from heat. Stir in basil. Stir 2 tbsp

lime juice and onions into couscous. Taste and add more lime juice

and a pinch of salt, if needed. Serve vegetables on top of couscous.
