| 1. Heat olive oil in a non stick pan and cook the chopped onion and garlic in it till the onion is soft and translucent. | 2. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne and paprika. | 3. Continue stirring over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add vegetable broth, tomato puree and currants. | 4. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. | 5. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in fresh lemon (or lime) juice to your taste. | 6. If not using immediately and planning to reheat before serving, wait to add citrus juice at the last minute. | 7. To cook the couscous, heat the broth, water, butter and salt together in a medium skillet till the liquid boils. | 8. Reduce to a simmer, add the couscous, cover the skillet tightly and leave on the lowest heat for 5 minutes. | 9. Remove the pan from the heat an leave it covered for another couple of minutes before fluffing with a fork. | 10. (If using instant couscous, check package directions - you may not need to keep it on heat after boiling, but just cover and wait till liquid is absorbed - just see if liquid amounts match what is mentioned on the package). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
