Mediterranean Couscous and Beans

Mediterranean Couscous and Beans
Recipe Tip
Glorious Garbanzos
Garbanzo beans are loaded with plenty of fiber--the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

Perfect
We had this for dinner tonight and it was truly a perfect blend of flavor. The raisins brought out the right amount of sweetness in the dish, and there was plenty for everyone!
