Ingredients

    1 tbsp Olive Oil
    1/2 large onion, diced
    3 Large Carrots, diced
    1 cup Swiss Chard (cut into bite sized pieces, approx. 1 medium bunch)
    3-4 cups vegetable broth (I used closer to 4 cups of low sodium veggie broth)
    1 can Lima Beans
    1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
    1 bayleaf
    1/2 cup dry Israeli Couscous
    1 tsp. Sriracha (hot chili sauce--optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat a large skillet or pan and add olive oil. Add onion and cook for 2-3 min. Add carrots and cook 2-3 min.

Add swiss chard, lima beans, broth, rosemary, and bayleaf. (I used a whole sprig of rosemary and then fished it out later with the bayleaf).

Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Add couscous and (optional) sriracha. Cook for an additional few minutes (use cook time for your couscous... around 8 minutes).

Remove rosemary and bayleaf before serving. Salt and pepper to taste.
