Pancetta & Mango Couscous

Couscous is an extremely versatile dish. The thing I love most about it is that it can be coupled with nearly anything you can think of and still be delicious and (somewhat) nutritious. In this example, I've combined one of my favorite fruits with an aromatic Italian bacon to create a delicious compliment to nearly any other dish.





     -3/4cups Pancetta (chopped)
     -5 cloves Garlic (chopped)
     -1 Red Onion (chopped)
     -2tbsp Olive Oil
     -3/4cup Mango (chopped)
     -4cups Chicken Broth
     -2cups Couscous

In a medium pot, add chicken broth, bring to a boil. In a large skillet, add olive oil, saute garlic, onion and pancetta until onions are translucent and pancetta is crispy. Once the broth is boiling, add couscous and sauteed mixture, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for five minutes before adding mango. Mix and serve.
