Mango CousCous Heaven

As you can guess, this is a sweet couscous. It is very different, very hearty, and so delicious. You know at the end when you take that bite to make sure that the seasoning is just right? Well last time, I just didn't stop eating it!

¾ cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted
1 ¼ cups vegetable stock
½ cup mango nectar

1 ½ cup couscous
1 ¼ cup chopped dried mango
1 tsp grated lime rind
2 tsp fresh lime juice
2 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro
1 TBSP chopped fresh mint

Microwave broth and mango nectar in a medium sized microwave safe bowl for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to boil. Place the couscous and dried mango in a large bowl, and stir in broth mixture. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Fluff the couscous with a fork, and stir in toasted macadamia nuts, lime rind, and next 3 ingredients. Serve warm or at room temperature.
