Moroccan Spiced Couscous

This recipe, from a close family friend, is another crowd pleaser: the couscous is light and fluffy, plumped up by the chicken broth and sweetened by the cinnamon and currants. It takes twenty minutes, start to finish, and goes well with roasted chicken, lamb, and/or any kind of simply prepared white fish. Enjoy!

1 box plain couscous
2 cups chicken broth
