Ingredients: 1 onion (3/4 lb.), peeled and chopped; 1 teaspoon salad oil; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander; 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne; 1/4 teaspoon ground dried turmeric; 2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) diced tomatoes; 1 package (about 2 lb.) cooked boned beef pot roast with gravy; 3 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth; 2 cups couscous; 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Servings: persons

1 onion (3/4 lb.), peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon salad oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground dried turmeric
2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) diced tomatoes
1 package (about 2 lb.) cooked boned beef pot roast with gravy
3 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
2 cups couscous
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

1
In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan or a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, frequently stir onion in oil until limp, 4 to 5 minutes.
2
Add cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and their juice; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often.
3
Discard any solidified fat from beef and sauce. Scrape sauce from meat into pan. Cut beef into 3/4-inch cubes and add to pan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, bring broth to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover pan, and remove from heat; let stand until broth is absorbed and couscous is tender to bite, about 5 minutes. Pour couscous into a wide bowl. Spoon stew over couscous and sprinkle with mint.
