Broccoli cous cous: So easy!

15, maybe 20 minutes, start to finish

1 1/2 cups water, salted if desired
1 tsp olive oil
2 - 3 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup cous cous
pine nuts, if desired
lemon wedges, if desired

Combine water, olive oil and broccoli in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil at high heat; when water boils, reduce to medium heat and boil for 3-4 minutes, until broccoli is slightly tender. After the 3-4 minutes have passed, remove from heat and stir in cous cous (and pine nuts if using), then cover and let set 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and squeeze some lemon over this to serve. Easy, fast, delicious and nutritious... the perfect side dish?
