Instructions
- Cook bacon in a wide saucepan or deep frying pan set over medium-high heat until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to absorb fat. Add onion and apple to pan and stir-fry until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth and sage and bring to a boil. (If using bouillon cube, add 2 cups/500 mL water and sage and bring to a boil. Add bouillon cube and whisk until dissolved.) Turn off heat but leave pan on burner. Stir in couscous, cover and let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Crumble bacon and toss into couscous mixture.
