      Title: COUSCOUS WITH LENTILS TOMATOES & BASIL
 Categories: Low fat, Vegetarian
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2 tb Sauteing liquid
      1 md Onion, chopped
  1 1/2 c  Water
      1 c  Vegetable-cocktail juice (I
           Used V8 with a little
           Picante sauce
           Stirred in)
      1 c  Brown lentils, rinsed and
           Drained
      1    Bay leaf
      1 c  Whole wheat couscous
      1 md Tomato, coarsely chopped
    1/2 c  Chopped fresh basil
      2 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
           (optional)
 
  Saute onion in liquid of your choice for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
  Stir in the water, juice, lentils, and bay leaf; bring to a boil.
  Reduce the heat to low; cover, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or
  until the lentils are soft but not mushy.
  
  Remove the pan from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the
  couscous, tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan. Cover and let stand for 5
  minutes or until the couscous is soft. Uncover and fluff with a fork
  to separate the grains, serves 4.
  
  This is from the latest Nutrition Action Newsletter, slightly
  modified to remove margarine. It is very tasty.
