Barefoot Contessa Moroccan Couscous Recipe

The below recipe from Ina Garten is very good.  We substitued the pignoli nuts with sliced almonds and the currants for dried raisins and cranberries.  We also used store-bought chicken stock.

Ingredients
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped shallots
3 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, recipe follows, or canned broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/2 cup pignoli nuts, toasted
1/4 cup currants
Directions
Melt the butter in a large saute pan, add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the chicken stock, salt and pepper, raise the heat to high and bring the stock to a boil. Off the heat and add the couscous. Cover the pan and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Add the pignoli nuts and currants to the couscous, stir and serve.
