ingredients
4 cups chicken stock, homemade or canned
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 piece (2-inch size) fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
2 cups couscous
1 cup raisins
1 medium zucchini, trimmed and diced 1/4 inch
2 medium carrots, trimmed and diced 1/4 inch
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

directions
Bring stock to a boil in a large pot and add the oil, turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, ginger and couscous. Stir the mixture and lower heat to simmer. Allow to cook until liquid has been absorbed (about 2 minutes) stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the raisins, zucchini, carrots and green onions. Fold gently to combine. Cover pot and let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle the mixture over the couscous and toss well.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Serve at room temperature; garnish with toasted pine nuts.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Um, this was gross. The tumeric/ginger/cumin/cinnamon combo went well with the raisins, and the carrots and zucchini went well with the lemon dressing -- but the whole thing together? Not a good match.
