buttery herb couscous

This was fun because I actually got to use some herbs from my garden. Poor things just sit in the backyard and somehow survive...I definitely don't have a green thumb. So while they are still alive I'm going to try and use them. Here's a recipe I like to use fresh herbs in.

2 T butter

2 cloves garlic - finely chopped

1 medium green onion (I use regular onion if I don't have any green onion on hand)

2/3 cup plain whole wheat couscous

1 1/3 cups chicken broth

2 t. fresh basil - chopped or 1 t. dried basil

1 t. fresh thyme - chopped or 1/4 t. dried thyme

2 T grated parmesan cheese

Melt butter in 2 quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic and onion in butter 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and salt; heat to boiling. Stir in couscous; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in basil, thyme and cheese.
