• 14 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Method

Over medium heat, saute garlic and onion in olive oil just until fragrant and onion is soft.

Add liquid and raise heat.  Bring liquid to a boil. Stir in couscous and spinach.

Cover pot with a tight-fitting lid and turn heat off. After 5 minutes, check to see if liquid has been absorbed. Fluff couscous up with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese and garnish with tomato and scallions.
