Savory Couscous

1 cup 100% whole wheat couscous

1 ½ cups boiling water

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

4 green onions, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 pinch salt

1 pinch ground black pepper

1 dash balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir couscous into boiling water and return water to a boil. Cover and remove pot from heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. While couscous is cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet and spray with cooking spray. Sauté onions, peppers, and garlic over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, basil, cooked couscous, salt and pepper. Mix together and transfer to a 1.5 quart casserole dish. Splash some balsamic vinegar on top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
